Whatever you experience as God, you will experience with me.
Some will have thirty percent fear and thirty percent love, and thirty percent confused emotions. Some will have maybe fifty percent fear, forty percent confused emotions. Some will have one hundred percent fear, and some will have one hundred love, no fear. You will be experiencing the Guru in different ways. Whatever you experience as Guru, that's what your experience of God will be.
Whatever may be the experience
you have about Guru, whether it
is with fear or the attitude of
Master and disciple or the
attitude of father and son or the
attitude of mother and son or
the attitude of friend or the
attitude of beloved, practice his
presence around the clock.
An air bubble in a copper wire will not allow the copper wire to be a conductor. Electricity will never flow in it. The hypocrisy which you carry is like the air bubble. It will not allow the guru-disciple relationship to happen. It will never allow the presence to permeate you, penetrate you. Practicing the presence with tremendous respect is the only way.
Two things will happen by practicing the presence of God or Guru in your life:
One, all your actions will fall into awareness. Second, the lower experience you carry about the Master, like fear, will become extinct; it will be burnt away. The percentage of fear you experience with me will be burnt away. The percentage of other emotions except pure surrender that you experience with me will also be burnt away. These two things are possible only by practicing intensely the presence of guru, practicing the presence of the Master.
