Characteristics of Truth Seekers
the soul worthy. For liberation one needs to resort to the evident directions of the enlightened personages.”
Moreover, the worldly soul has been living oblivious of his faults. Those faults cannot be removed unless they are brought to the notice. True Guru can see such faults and bring them to the attention of the aspirant. He can also bring to the notice the pitfalls lying on the way so that the aspirant can remain cautious during his spiritual pursuit. Getting access to a true Guru thus needs to be considered as unique.
As such, if one comes in contact with such a Guru, he should consider himself fortunate and should surrender to him with all his energy. He needs to stay in total obedience. Physical, vocal, and mental are the faculties with which one makes any type of endeavor; the true endeavor consists of exercising all those faculties in staying obedient to the Guru.
The ignorance of the worldly soul can be equated to darkness. It cannot be removed without getting a lamp in the form of enlightened Guide. The worldly soul has been groping in the dark; none of his concepts can be true or close to truth. One cannot get on the path of liberation by his own understanding; it is necessary to get the guidance from a self-realized Guru. Getting such guidance should be treated as great obligation. One should surrender to such a Guru and carry out all his commands, explicit or implicit.
