Do I know what spirit motivates the guru? If I am mature, ready to burst into flame, I will know. The mature person's understanding is different. He will know in what spirit the guru functions, non-volitionally.
This is the problem. I have to have an example, but I have to be extremely cautious in approaching this example and not to imitate stupidly. If I had not lived with my guru, I would not have understood anything.
We read a passage from a holy book, but it makes no sense at all. We are told that just as there are cells in our body, we ourselves in the body of God. But what about cyclones? There is no cyclone in my body. It is a cyclone also a cell in the body of God? We will have millions of him answerable questions.
Only when you live with a guru, and live with him in the right spirit, the right attitude, is it possible for you to get a remote glimpse of what it means.
