Seeking a Spiritual Teacher

**Nichole** · 01-26-2008, 10:50 PM

In truly seeking a spiritual teacher, the student must be free of agism, sexism, racism, religionism, height, and weight concerns.
The student must be relatively free of such concerns for they limit who you will find.

This is why I had a very interesting talk yesterday in the local park with a certain individual.
He initiated the talking, and he said he was a psychiatrist. The natural fleeing reflex kicked in immediatly, as I felt an unholy aura about him, but I did not let it disturb my equanimity. I did listen to him, and I was thinking, perhaps this man is a teacher, let him say what he wants. Sadly, he turned out to be a poor fellow who can't control his vital nature, and who did propose almost immediately, in a blunt and straightforward way.

It was a bit of a shock, you know, this does not happen a lot to me.

It is hard to see the Christ in someone who wants to ... you know what.
Or was this just a test ? I had the idea that real teachers do not aboard people this way, but perhaps I am wrong. What do I know ?

It is human nature not to see the Christ in all, but it is God-nature to realise the Christ in All.

According to Nityananda, everything is a test. I think I got a medium score on this one.

Next time I'll try better.

Life is all but a play..but don't score..your karma will still accumulate

Every breath is your next time

All resides in god

a beautiful feeling of total surrender.
