you the way to salvation. Therefore, it is enough if you realise the greatness of your Preceptor. यह तन विष की बेलडी,
गुरू अमृत की खान | सीस दियाँ जो गुरू मिले
तो भी सस्ता जान ॥ Yaha tana vish ki beladi
Guru amrit ki khan Sisa diyam jo Guru mile To bhi sasta jān
Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir
"This body is a poisonous creeper. The Guru Maharaj is the mine of nectar or amrit. If we get a Guru we can give even our head (life) and even that is a cheap price for such a precious thing."
The Doha (stanza) written by Kabir inspires in the readers devotion for their Preceptor.
We can pose questions to our Preceptor but remember that if the questions are intended to exhibit your knowledge, you cannot attain any self-realisation. Lord Mahavira and Sri Krishna did not ask any questions; they merely answered the questions posed by Gautama Swami and Arjuna. This is what we have heard and known. But the point is whether any questions did not arise in the minds of these great men who gave such splendid answers to the questions put to them. Certainly, questions would have arisen in their minds, but they would have found answers to their questions in their own minds where the questions arose. If the mind is free from passions and if it is pure then it will provide answers to your questions and clarifications for your doubts. We can the world with our physical eyes, but we can see our soul only with our mentál eyes.

The seer's view should be subtle and incisive. It must concern itself with the soul, not with the body. How many words are there in the Koran? What is the number of slokas (stanzas) in the Bhagavad Gita? Into G.S.-8
