u are welcome to start a new topic. u should have the ability as a moderator if not let me know. Since Amma has much to say on this topic i prefer to leave her comments under her heading so people can find them. However u r welcome to copy and paste them in another thread. Somethings seem so obvious to me and i have had so many things happen to me from following the Gurus that is seems counter productive to question. i would b better off to question whether i had parents and to deny their help. But i am not the only one on this forum so others may feel differently.
When you have a Master you are swimming with the current instead of against it---if you are with out one.~ Amma
I love the Amma quote, Steve. Would you consider re-titling this thread so that we can add statements from other respected sages on this important topic of the Guru?
