The Best Qualified Aspirant

 

The uttama adhikari, who is, ever ardent, silent and serene due to the

dawn of proper knowledge, ever the same among the diverse men of the

world, undisturbed by the distracted activities of the workaday world,

calm and peaceful, withdrawn himself from the bustle of life, unmindful

of what is happening on earth, disinterested either in this or that,

indifferent to the pleasures of a so-called successful life-that is

really fit indeed to receive the ultimate Wisdom of the Lord and the

Truth. Even if there is the slightest desire lurking inside other than

for the realisation of the Divine, that person will not be able to

comprehend the true import of the Upanishadic teachings or the

instruction by the spiritual teacher. He will have thousand doubts and

distractions in the mind that make impossible all spiritual activity.
