To honor, to love, to hold in esteem, to adore you teachers/gurus - that's natural and arises, happens naturally...You can't help but feel grateful, in love with someone who has offered you wisdom, a new perspective, relief from misery and stress-HOWEVER...
The distraction comes when you miss YOUR NATURE, YOUR wisdom, YOUR natural happiness that YOU are. And begin to think that you can only experience IT on a course, or in your Guru's presence. You begin to look for a "particular experience" in a "particular place". And when you leave that place, that course, you feel as if you've been thrown out of paradise. And that's THE LIE. PARADISE/PEACE IS YOUR NATURE.
Experiences of Peace-Bliss-Gods-invincibi
lity-enthusiasm-confidence
will ALWAYS come & go-but your NATURE IS. That silence IS-But you WANT the pre-conceived experience of silence SO you miss the OBVIOUS. You miss your NATURE.
It's THIS. Close your eyes...THERE YOU ARE. THIS. SILENCE IS YOUR NATURE... PEACE IS YOUR NATURE...you don't have to go anywhere to find it...it's just more fun to hang out with your friends, your teachers, your Gurus...and sometimes the Silence is more apparent in their presence, but IT NEVER GOES AWAY - EVER.
A very slight change in perception and THERE IT IS AGAIN. THERE YOU ARE AGAIN. ALWAYS, RELAXED HAPPY, AT PEACE in the midst of the most stressful circumstances. So Relax when you're in a tight spot - you are always at home, in the right place, being taken care of by the heart of your Guru/your NATURE.!
