One cannot ask advice when the adviser is on a marketplace or when he is talking or when he is in a saloon.One should know where it is appropriate to meet himand ask him.Then the next step: When to seek advice, at whattime? Note the hours, when the adviser is disposed forgiving advices. Note the place, note the time! Meethim and seek! One should also inquire within oneselfif one is really ready to follow that advice, especiallywhen his consciousness decides upon asking from aparticular adviser.I conclude this again with a small story. A seekerwho was hungry of truth went to Tibet to meet aTibetan Master. After long search he found one. Heprostrated before him and said, “Master, I came to seektruth. Kindly initiate me.”Master: “Are you ready for initiation?”Student: “Yes”.Master: “Are you willing to do what I say?”Student: “Yes”.Master: “If it is really so, go to the lake which ishundred kilometres away. Take bath and come back.”The student did so. The Master in the meanwhilewent up a mountain. The student saw the Master onthe mountain and went up there. The Master againasked for the third time, “Are you ready?” The studentaffirmed. Then the Master said, “Count all the stonesthat surround this peak. If your count is right, I willgive you instant enlightenment.” The student wasshocked but was determined to do so, knowing that itwas the trick of the Master. He went on counting. TheMaster was asking the student once in a month. Yearspassed by. The student almost forgot the very purposeof his counting. When the question of “when wouldthe Master initiate me” had completely died, then theMaster manifested himself before him and touchedthe Sahasrara. The student was enlightened. Such arethe stories of the east which seem to be too fictitiousbut if we analyse what happened to the student, wewill find that he was completely aligned within by theinstruction for years. When the alignment is complete,the light can descend instantly from another light.Madam Blavatsky, who gave the Golden Stairs, wascompletely ready to receive instructions. Her life wasfull of hurdles. When she followed the instructions,receiving advice is one part, taking it as instruction,as commandment, is another part. Depending on thesincerity of the seeker he transforms the advice givento him into an instruction, into a commandment, andsubmits himself to it. Such was the demonstration ofMadam Blavatsky. Through such demonstration oneis fulfilled on the path. When someone sincerely seeksadvice, one should know that one seeks a commitment.It could be a commitment for life. If it is accepted,100 101
just one advice from a wise man may fulfil life. That ishow many aspirants have fulfilled themselves and arefunctioning today as initiates.A Loyal Sense of Duty to the Teacher‘A loyal sense of duty to the Teacher’ is the step thatenables the student to transform faster. The Teacher isthe one who knows the truth, he lives the truth andthe truth is that i am. that is the only identity theTeacher carries. He carries no other identities. Apparentlyit may look that he identifies with other roles. Wheni am, the individual, is realised, verily that exists as iam. Ocean exists as the wave. Wave may appear to bedifferent from the ocean, separate from the ocean, butit is not true. The wave cannot exist independentlyfrom the ocean. It is verily the ocean that exists asocean and also as wave. The difference between theocean and the wave is in state, but not in essence. Thestate of wave is temporary and transient. It comes topass by. It emerges and merges. But it is not so with theocean. Similarly ice is formed from water in the Polarregions. The ice is but water only, but stands afloat asa separate entity. The ice block is but a different stateof water. But it is not a truly separate formation otherthan the water. Likewise, the individual i am is notseparate from the universal that. It is seemingly so.The Teacher is one who appears seemingly as a separateentity, but he is at all times connected with that. Inthe Teacher it is verily that at work. The form of theTeacher is the means for that to work. In the Western102 103
