FROM WITHIN
When we understand that every
being is a unique creation of the
Universe, that the same divinity
that is in us is in them also, we
automatically radiate humility and
the absence of pride. All these
qualities that are supposed to be
radiated by a seeker should simply
happen from within. This is what
Kṛṣṇa explains.
Another important thing: How should
we approach an Enlightened spiritual
Master or ācāryopāsana? He talks about
this in another verse also—tad viddhi
pranipātena paripraśnena sevayā (4.34).
It means that we should approach the
Master with questions and request him
to answer the questions.
Especially in Vedānta, the Vedic system,
the Master plays a major role. Why?
Unless we see someone continuously
living in the consciousness and
continuously expressing that
consciousness, our unconscious refuses
to believe it is possible.
When we see a living Enlightened Master, our emotions also automatically start experiencing it. Our unconscious, which continuously questions, becomes silent when we see a living Master. With books we learn through verbal language; with a Master we learn through his body language. He is a living example that proves the truth can become a reality for us in our life.
