Guru Conflict

This is an important subject: Guru Conflict! It is nothing but a conflict inside yourself. There is no real conflict between the real masters. If Rama and Krishna meet, they will hug each other, but Rama’s monkeys and Krishna’s cows will fight!

The energy of all the great masters is one and the same; all masters are the embodiment of the same energy; there is no need for any conflict. I always tell people: go around, pluck flowers from as many gardens as you wish to and make a nice garland! But they don’t pluck from any

garden; instead they bring only thorns – trouble! If you are doing window shopping, you are not learning from any guru. If you really know the knack of plucking flowers, you will become adept at plucking flowers from gardens.

When you go from guru to guru, you will become more intense, but if you don’t learn from any guru, it is better that you stay with only one guru. After all, what are you going to learn from so many gurus that you can’t learn from one? Going to the first guru itself is wrong if you are doing just window shopping. Don’t torture him and torture yourself; liberate the guru with whom you are living by following him in the right fashion!

If you feel the guru is only a teacher and not the path, simply leave him. The rule of thumb is, when you meet the real guru, your heart will simply fall, you won’t even think of anyone else!

"When Master happens in our lives, nothing else is needed.
If he does not happen, nothing else is of use."
