Thank you paapiman Ji. May God shower his blessings upon you. The verses above have truly brought tears to my eyes. It has made me cry. I find, each and every time when I recite the Gubani from the SGGS I cry because what my Pitta Ji says to me touches my soul so much that expressing how I feel is beyond words. Suddenly words fail and tears take over. I am going to post something now which actually led me to ask my question. Please read it and tell me what you think. It goes like this: "Somewhere there was once a Flower, a Stone, a Crystal, a Queen, a King, a Palace, a Lover and his Beloved, and this was long ago, on an Island somewhere in the ocean five thousand years ago... Such is Love, the Mystic Flower of the Soul. This is the Center, the Self." (C.G. Jung) Thank you once again for your help.

Thank you so much for your. response. I agree.

Does one's Master still remember one when he has passed on? Any idea?

That's fine, but don't you still think we need some sort of Master//Teacher to show us how to put theory into practice? For instance, do you think it is possible to become a chemist, a mathematician, a journalist or even a dancer by just reading books? Similarly, can one become a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, just by reading books? Do we need someone to elaborate on what the theory states? Do we not need someone to explain to us what the written word is trying to convey and show us how to apply it? Spiritual path is a very difficult and lonely path and we certainly need someone to guide us and be with us when we are lost, lonely and totally desolate.

Do we need a spiritual teacher/Master to progress on spiritual journey?

You have to realize one thing and that is, when we start blaming others for our troubles then we just ignore our our own role in causing them in the first place. That is all I have to say.
