Let's go beyond the mind/23
the destination, but just a step on the ladder towards the destination. Yes, the contact and glimpse of a self-awakened seeker should be accepted in the awakening of energy of the self; but this is not a favour, it is just co-operation. This is just the distribution of ‘samdarshita' (the faculty of seeing all as equals) of the peaceful mind. The real teacher lives in the intoxication of non-attachment. He is a teacher for you, in whose company your mind becomes peaceful, unwandering and blemish-free. That place is a temple for you, on sitting where your restless mind becomes peaceful. Only he is your God, on gazing at whom your aim does not disappear to your eyes.
