Every master will say you can go alone, you can find the truth on your own; there is no need of a master. And only a master will say that.
But he will also make it clear to you that you are choosing a very long journey. You may be tired, you may drop out of the search; you may turn your back towards truth. You may even become antagonistic to the very idea.
The master is a practical necessity.
And the master is only a lover. He loves truth, and he loves to help people to reach that wonderful experience.
He is just like a gardener. Whenever there are flowers coming to the plants it is not only that the flowers blossom, something in the heart of the gardener also blossoms with each flower. The same is true about the master.
Each time a disciple reaches the goal, attains his potentiality, blossoms, something in the master’s heart also blossoms. With each disciple becoming enlightened, the master becomes again and again enlightened.
That is the master’s reward. He does not want anything from the disciple. His reward is in the success of the disciple.
So always remain aware of the distinction between
what is theoretical and what is practical…
