hmm.. interesting !! a different perspective. interesting. paradigm shift in thinking here for me.
But if i do a reality check, yes, i do look for inner and outer guidance too. Everywhere.

Tanbir...this is a really good point...Usually people don't feel safe unless they've done their program, their meditation, their chanting whatever. They think it gives them an edge to their inner & outer guidance.

So I ask you: "What if you were always safe and being guided, whether you did your meditation or not? What if you were ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME, DOING THE RIGHT THING? WHAT IF YOU WERE ALWAYS BEING GUIDED? How would you feel then about your life?

People go through all kinds of rituals to insure their life goes THEIR WAY, GOES WELL THEIR WAY...and does it?

I'M not telling people not to do their spiritual practices, I'm just suggesting THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS BEING GUIDED, just like the ant, that does exactly what it's supposed to do at all times.

Just consider this perspective and see how you feel...

gosh ! now this one is another one that really got me thinking. I must admit that i do feel safer after I have done my program, feel that I am clearer and have more clarity and more settled to receive and act on the guidance that i get or to do or say anything.

"You are always being guided."

hmm.. nice, i know it, ..but separating it from my program, i need to digest that perspective and mull on it.

Obviously that doesnt mean that dont do your practice, as you said.

why do you keep on looking for inner-outer, this-that, either-or .... ?? too many mind made limitations. one often doesn't exclude the other !!
Doing your meditation, your sadhana makes you (feel) clearer, stronger. Good. As a result you feel safer. Good. Keep on doing it. That's the purpose ;).
But, I would recommend, don't LOOK too much forguidance. It's usually not an explicit act this guidance. Someone (Guru, God, whosoever) appearing inside (or outside) and telling you what to do. These are usually romantic concepts. It's much more spontaneous. So just relax. And the possible and necessary 'answer' for that moment will be there. :)

Outer Guru is just a manifestation of your inner Guru (depending upon your urge and desire.) If you happen to be with a false Guru, blame yourself!!

Dvorahji, some people are tired of this dream-world and they long to wake up..(hence the seeking). YES, sleep is also a part of the whole EXperience, dreaming or not-dreaming... Inner GURU is always awake, but are we... ? When we as we believe ourselves to be, are cluttered with various false identifications and ingrained imprints and conditionsthat got formed god-know-when... My mind understands what you are saying.... resting as awareness is all that there is to it... most people do not rest as their awareness (there is much ambition for Enlightenment.. etc.) and they fill up their buckets with borrowed knowledge... and torture themselves with sadhana etc. - until they don't... Dropping knowledge is for me a big part of my Relaxation... : )

Hege, you know I love you...for once, just listen to what I've suggestion with no preconceived answers of how it works for you....just read what I've offered and let it drop. No questions, no answers, no thoughts about how it is for other people. Read the sutra and let it float into air. No comment. NO thought about it.

seekers don't realize that all these SUTRAS are possibilities...there are no answers for them...there is NO opposites or opinions about them, there is no advice to give or explanations....A SUTRA is given. A POSSIBILITY is given...let it come back to you again again with it's faint fragrance of freedom of wholeness....A SUTRA is not for discussion...it's for appreciation and WONDER....

Dali Mama dear, it's really very simple isn't it - why do I complicate things? At least I catch myself more quickly now and make the adjustment. Love you eternally. Always have and always will.
