Joe: "Now I've seen everything!", and be happy. But a teacher might
say we have not entered the door, yet.

Suresh: Who is teacher? If the whole universe is not your teacher, how
can some human form be teacher? Even if I accept your argument to have
a teacher; how one to recognize an enlightened teacher?

In India there are crores of teachers, each claim to be seen god or
vision of god or enlightened and each has tail of gurus inherited. You
should go and see in Kasi or even in Thiruvannamalai.

There are very famous gurus like Jaggi Vasudev or Sri.Ravi shanker
etc., you can read their books, but to meet them personally is not
easy and it could be even expensive. I have visited Jaggi Vasudev
established temple and ashram (Isha Foundation). He claims that those
who do not have any idea of meditation can also feel meditation experience
while sitting in front of the Shiva linga which he established. Since
I went with children, I could not sit there for a while, just taken a
round of shivalinga and came out. But I was attracted by it.

Now when you have no access to guru, only books can be of any help.
That too well known gurus like Ramana Maharishi. Reading a book is
different, but reading a book of guru is different. When you put all
your attention to read and understand a guru book, that itself take
you to meditative mood. Those words carry the guru’s power. A guru is
not dead at any time. In truth there has been only one guru, who only
manifest in different human form at different places and at different
time.

You guys are opportunistic and hence you had gurus and live in
isolated areas and drown in meditation. But you all are not world. The
reality world is in cities, in towns, in villages, those mass where
they will get gurus and isolated places? So a book helps those mass,
or a temple or that kind of place helps those people to feel certain
amount meditation or divinity.

Our divinity or meditation should be such that it should not get
disturbed or diluted even while living in crowd. You should radiate
peace/mediation around you wherever you go just like a flower. A
flower gives irrespective of where it is kept. It can be kept on
Buddha or any god idol or it can be on any ladies head or it can be in
the hands of man as bouquet or it is in the road side stall but it
continues to give its fragrance. That should be our mediation power;
you radiate it wherever you are.

After reading a book if anyone claims to be enlightened it can be true
or it can be false. If it is false it will be immediately known to
all, the god will remove his false mask through environment. (One will
be tested), if you are really enlightened, that too will come out in
the open, god will reveal himself through enlightened soul.

If one can see a guru in human form, then book is also a form, guru
can come to you like book also. Reading again and again will be like
guru is teaching day by day. Any false interpretation of yours will be
cleared and truth will reveal by reading the book again and
again. Once you tasted the guru’s book, reading again and again is a
voluntary process. Guru will pull you towards him.

It is far better to read enlightened guru books then getting caught by
a false guru and go astray.

Best wishes
