WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY...

Ashok Kumar : What is the goal in spiritual life? I find so many answers like Enlightenment, Freedom, God, oneness or whatever. When i further ask as to what they would feel after reaching the destination or goal. I again get confused answers like universal love, out-of-world state, Bliss and so on. The answers are based on hearsay or fanciful concepts, which the mind has accepted and want its attainment. It is like a horizon. Mind is looking at the horizon and it wants to reach there. Is is possible? The reality is horizon does not exist. Thank you

Meena Devi Dasi : You have described your experience so far. When you ask the serious questions you get vague unsatisfying answers. You are not alone in this. It is the experience for most people.The tendency is to throw the hands in the air and say, "It is all nonsense. No one knows anything substantial." It is a most unfortunate symptom of the times. When the student is ready the spiritual master appears.
