The Teacher Who Comes Once In A Lifetime

Behind all our actions, behind all that is happening, there is God's Grace.

 And if we start seeing it in this way, we will be very happy. 

–Sri Swami Vishwananda

The Teacher Who Comes
Once In A Lifetime

This most surprisingly and miraculous 
Spiritual Teacher came my way one fine day!
May you all be blessed with such a wonder.
Later, I asked Him the first question: 
“I saw this great golden light 
While meditating and chanting your name.
Did you send the light?”

He said very lovingly, and simply getting acquainted

As to the way of His teaching…

I think…

 "I accept and perceive your request,
But I can not answer your questions now,
Because the right time has not come yet.   

Please, perceive me in your heart.

There shall you find answers to your questions, 

And they will come to you in the moment when it’s

Important for you to know them.

Let’s accept gifts of Light and His (The Divine’s) 

Blessing with an open heart and open intellect. 

"Let´s keep in our hearts such Love, which has no 

Boundaries and which includes 

All spiritual Teachers and Masters, 

Behind which is one Light – Unity for all. 

Let’s accept the blessing which we receive on the levels 

Of our physical and subtle bodies. 

Thankfulness is an aspect which brings us to 

Full realization of Paramatma. 

It is not important to know who is helping us.

Let’s be thankful to God for everything, because it’s only 

Him Who stands behind everything.”

This was my first lesson from this Teacher.

To this day, I adore His enlightened answer!

The spiritual life is filled with bumps and 

Obstacles along one’s long pathway.

These clear the karma and lighten your 

Footsteps as you forge ahead in life’s buffet.

One day… just when you think you are settled for life 

With the Guru safely in place and secure in your heart
Like an explosion out of nowhere, it seems,

Another teacher may suddenly, miraculously and

Magnificently appear to teach 

You some specific ways and means

Of reaching the higher vibrational field of the Divine.

It’s all karmic patterns woven in the soul’s inherited

Gene pool of one’s energetic field, you see?

Confusing to the max, at first, it becomes clearer with 

Love, Patience, Unity… and the Teacher’s Divine Love.

What to do? Where does one’s loyalty lie and why 

This sudden infusion of new spiritual energy into your 

Very cells the spiritual aspirant asks… sincerely?
It feels like Hanuman when he said that every hair on his head
Vibrates -- "Ram, Ram, Ram!"

Well, the Guru says: “Each teacher has a particular

Mission in the way He teaches and each can reach areas 

Of the ego-self that perhaps another cannot reach at the time 

It specifically is needed to climb Jacob’s Stairway

To Heaven as his prophetic dream portrayed."

When the light is offered in any form sent straight 

From the Divine Itself, “the time for hesitation is over,”

Take the reigns as they are offered and listen to what the

Teacher provides in the form of Spiritual Prasad.

A lowly merchant by the side of the sea sells his fish 

And wares to any passerby, but a Teacher who is sent 

From the Light of the Highest Heaven, must choose his students 

With whom He passes on His mantel of wisdom as he teaches 

Very carefully and according to one’s readiness to receive in 

God’s Holy Light of Time, Space and Love Divine!

So, if and when this happens to you, tighten your seat belt, 

Fold your hands in prayer and get ready for one of the greatest rides

Of your life. And remember to leave behind your 

Pride, Envy, Jealousy, Lust, and

The bevy of latitudes wound around your Heart, 

In order to free it to soar with the Eagles and the Teacher 

Who chooses you when the time is ordained by the 

Holy Most High when you are ready to remove

The chains of ignorance, this binding rope tied tightly 

To your heart which you weren’t even aware was there

Until the Teacher appeared and lovingly revealed 

The Face of God Within you… reflected in His own 

Beautiful face, soul, words and voice.

And more relevantly… in the Divine Energy

Of the silent space between His words

And His mantle of blessing, ensconced in His

Presence in your lifestream.

Om and Amen
