GURU!? what GURU...

Scene 1: TEMPLE - It feels so good as I bow down to this stone statue in the temple, i feel Divine, I do, I'm certain there is something special the vibrations, the everything, THE PRESENCE, GOD is here i can feel it :)

Scene 2: ON THE STREET - blasting my lungs out on this guy who just banged into my car, I mean cant he see, what the hell, its so unacceptable, i feel my blood boil to ---- with him @#$%$#^$#@$@$%#, feel like punching him on his face :(

how often Iv been through these extremes of feeling utter devotion capable of melting statues in temple and almost instantly lost it all to some human being who just reset my state of mind, isn't that funny and it happens all the time, its easier to be so gentle with the statue, show reverence to the rivers and trees and to Gurus who are no longer in the physical form, cause they don't ask, don't say, don't question you at all,me thinks the fear arises when you see an Enlightened Being and In knowing truly and deeply that HE is one...*

pls note that : experience speaking- having a Master is challenging, its chaotic (w.r.t small mind) its strange (w.r.t rest of the "normal world") its scary cause you never really know whats going to happen or in fact what's happening but who cares YOU HAVE A GURU :) HURRAY (fireworks) right!?

*cause IF YOU HAVE MET THE GURU then you cant do what the small mind says, you cant just do things without knowing the consequences, you cant be irresponsible, insensitive and get away with saying but I don't care, you cant you just cannot dear, you unfortunately have to start feeling connected, take care and this list is so endless that too much of DIVINITY will just kill the whole thrill of being human, i guess and therefore its so convenient going to places, dipping oneself in the rivers praying to photographs of physically non existent beings (with all due respects to all of them, if you know what i mean)

so that's why, is liye (Hindi), people pray, offer, etc etc but wont go to a Living Master cause its very riksy (that's how i spell it) very very riksy and there has always been someones someones someone who either ran away to the Himalayas on the pretext of meeting a master or was duped by one and blah blah blah blah but we wont meet the MASTER,

see its easier to be / feel divine for a few minutes in a day / month/ year, who the hell wants it for lifetime!? AND THAT'S WHY ITS EASIER TO SEE GOD IN OBJECTS THAT YOU CANT RELATE TO, SEEING HIM IN EVERYONE IS TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE AND MORE SO WHO WANTS A GURU who does that ALL THE TIME...

...on my GURUday for and with my GURU

lots of love
