yes, it is "rather challenging," but you seem to do it well.

Thanks,

"I am NOT a Guru!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Dear, Dear Suzanne,

Surely, you understand that it's not up to you.

And claiming not to be a guru, ironically, increases credibility.

Good Luck!

I am NOT a GURU!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

How many spiritual teachers does it take to change a light bulb?

All of them, because each one has the only right way to do it!

Nahnni,

"Wow" moments are spectacular, almost like a manna sometimes, and occur when one least expects them and from truly unanticipated sources. And they don't come from repetition, it is true."

Yes, it seems we will be "awakened" by surprise, or not awakened at all.

"It's why people become angry when their gurus fall from grace. How could he have fallen, been strangely, and often darkly, human after all? Sadly, we thought him/her so wise."

And you may have inadvertently pointed out how we often perceive "human" as a somewhat disgusting occupation unworthy of respect. As I've stated frequently; generally we tend not to trust anything "human." Therefore, we expect or guru-masters to be anything but "human."

I ask again and again, what good "wisdom"? I splat on wisdom!

Thanks Nahnni, always good stuff!

No One,

Methinks perchance that you may be the object of such fantasies (based on the comments the disciples leave on your blog)

Bow to them...

Gurus, the would-be, the self-proclaiming, are interesting creatures. They become very annoyed at best, dismissive at worst, condescending in between, when posed of a riddle they are unable to conjure an answer to. One's submission is their only power. It is always interesting when they claim to have been assigned.

"Wow" moments are spectacular, almost like a manna sometimes, and occur when one least expects them and from truly unanticipated sources. And they don't come from repetition, it is true.

I think it odd that many will gather around the leader and nod in unison when something "profound" is thought to have been uttered. It's why people become angry when their gurus fall from grace. How could he have fallen, been strangely, and often darkly, human after all? Sadly, we thought him/her so wise.

Quote: "However, there are those who can give you what you do not want, nor ask for, but need. They are all around you. When will you bow to them in the realization that they are your teachers?

The real learning happens when you excuse yourself from the classroom."

A resounding yes.

Blessings~

Lovely one Mike. Perhaps the presented Universe itself, and all its apparent situations, is already the perfect guru.

I wish I'd had a guru...a really good-looking male one, who was a bit carried away with his power and willing to have inappropriate relations with a chosen few of his disciples! ( Before I was married of course.)
