I was awed as I sat speechless for a moment, and Gurudev continued, “Also, no one can be mad or angry at you and come to me after you have been their teacher. There must be love for you as a teacher before they can come to me as a teacher.” This made me realize that we as students will always have our Spiritual Inheritance as long as we love and respect our teachers. The teachers do not go away, it is only the students who leave in anger who lose their spiritual inheritance.
This talk with Gurudeve made me think about those people who don't understand what life is for and about, the people who equate success with money, that they will leave behind. They do not know what we now understand, that our Spiritual Inheritance is greater than any amount of money or possessions that could be accumulated. For our Spiritual Inheritance is the true, everlasting gold of the soul.
Namaste,
