Must we Follow a Spiritual Master who had yet to Gain Enlightenment in Present Life


Now and in times to come, must we follow a spiritual master who had yet to gain enlightenment in present life? In the last about 150 years only two spiritual stalwarts finally succeeded in gaining enlightenment in their lifetime… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana!

 

When I could not find a spiritual master to guide me in the journey of life, I started following teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana. I wanted to duplicate the path taken by them. Path of self enquiry, Neti (not this, not this) practiced and followed by Maharishi Ramana proved to be of great help. Everything that was not God got negated.

 

Henceforth, I did not feel absence of a spiritual master in real life. Pursuing path shown by Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana… following dictates of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita I finally cleared my spiritual journey, reached end of cosmic life… 8.4 millionth manifestation.

 

It is path of contemplation, introspection, logical reasoning… self enquiry that was important, not the presence of a spiritual master. Why indulge in searching for a spiritual master, only to feel cheated in the end.
