SITTING WITH THE MASTER

When a disciple is not in the
space of completion, if he is
not completely ready to listen,
naturally the technique becomes
a ritual.
Our Vedic Masters always
transmitted and mirrored the
truths through the oral tradition
of disciple succession from the
enlightened Master to the
disciple. The disciple sits in
Upaniṣad at the feet of the
Master. Upaniṣad means sitting
with the Master. Upaniṣad is
nothing but — a Master who gets
into a space and lets the disciples
sit around and mirror his neuron
activity in their brains. Upaniṣad
is the best way to transmit the
experiential expression of the
great tattvas.
Understand: If you are not enlightened, you can easily get carried away by anything that you see! The truth or the spirit of anything can be easily lost. If you want to destroy any law, all you need to do is just follow it to the letter and miss the spirit. That is why time and again our Upaniṣads insist upon going to a living enlightened Master.
All our books are only manuals. Vedas are the only books that are courageous enough to declare that they cannot give you Enlightenment. If you want the ultimate experience, you have to go to a living enlightened Master.
