Real Guru Tatwa lies inside, not outside. Guru ji in person will show us the sign posts in our journey and will contribute to awaken our own Real Guru Tatwa. Fake Guru (though they may be great name) make you dependent on them to exploit , also fake student just try to find shelter to become dependent. Outer Guru will be of same frequency and standard of which requirement of Inner Guru Tatwa. This reality does’t cut short Guru’s role but you should compare them to the role of traffic policemen, who sacrifice their life to signal you to right direction without self interest. This to be ‘Without Self Interest’ is the real quality of Guru-in-person which, even we spiritual seeker can’t compete. Because we have our interest, these Gurus also pursue our interest.

A paradox:
It is wrong to assume that we are human being and can have spiritual experience, but truth is that we are spiritual being and having a human life experience..!
Everything in life happens for a reason, we just have to figure out what the reasons are and learn from them–Sharon Snyder (New FB Friend)
Thanks Sharon, this is only way to recognize our won Karmas and eradication by pouring the fire of stream of consciousness. Path of raising consciousness is the spiritual journey. 
No one may understand Hebrew until you learn alphabets of that, even initially after learning we do not understand slangs and idioms and basic folk terms. Same is true about Hindi , Sanskrit and any other language.
No one enlightened even may successfully describe nature of Absolute divine. He/she may just tell ABOUT. No reason, logic or rationalism or abstractism or even sever scientific empiricism may approach absolute.
These all stand on ground of relativity.Relativity may be narrow downed by reason,logic or rationalism etc. or also may be broden up to include all point of view to produce a synthesis. When Relativity is narrow downed analysis is produced where in that narrowness argumentation beads up and game of cutting down size the counter views and scoring points starts.
So is the case of path of Yoga, Tantra and Arts is. Even a so called grate yogi can’t know actualities of Tantra, he may just infer what is that and may contemplate only. That is just a guessing game. He may think his contemplation is better than a lay man because he understand processes involved. But sometime that is not true….so it become just a game of probability. Similarly only by working as artisans for long long years, one of us can be authorized to comment upon real situation of that time, that too upto limited extent. Otherwise we should accept we do not know language of Yoga, Tantra and Arts due to lack of attainment in these fields.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action–
into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. – Rabindra Nath Tagore
It’s just a job.
Birds Fly.
Grass Grows.
Waves pound the sand.
I beat people up.

‘When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn’t just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.
I was fighting to win the world heavyweight title so I could go out in the streets and speak my mind. I wanted to go to the people, where unemployment, drugs and poverty were part of everyday life. I wanted to be a champion who was accessible to everyone. I hoped to inspire others to take control of their lives and to live with pride and self-determination. I thought perhaps if they say that I was living my life the way I chose to live it – without fear and with determination – they might dare to take the risks that could set them free.’ – Soul of a Butterfly -Ali

I woke up this morning feeling good and black.
I got out of my black bed,
I put on my black robe,
I played all my best black records,
and drank some black coffee.
Then I put on my black shoes and
I walked out my black door…
and Oh lord, white snow!
‘It’s a relationship of convenience between Bureaucrats, Politicians and Coaches. It is tough to get money or Govt. support for a Coach to organize a championship meet. For Bureaucrat, it is a good opportunity to cut a ribbon, be seated in the front seat along with similar others, shout at his subordinates for not managing the resources well, and go home thinking that he helped the sport. For politician, it is the eyeballs, a chance to polish his upcoming speech and recruit for his gang of booth-capturers. What ends up happening is that most Bureaucrats become part-time sport administrators and Politicians take higher up posts. Thus, the sport is administered pretty much like our country; an ill-fed elephant of whom we want to be proud but end up getting frustrated when it doesn’t move. ‘
The text attached to the pic – ‘To be close to an elephant’, I took is excellent. Have a read.
Oh, to be close to an elephant, that creature grand and elegant, that wrinkled skin craggy and gray with a big heart beating like a drum, next to it I’d feel no ill nor glum. I want to be close to eyes searching man’s intent, eyes that see how often we’re bent on imposing our will and truss all the things surrounding us. I want to be close to mighty feet that do not trample for idle pleasure, I want to be close to such a measure, a treasure of true dignity. How can it be that such being here we see that posses’ so mighty a power yet is not inclined to mindlessly devour all that is in its path? It does not “throw around its weight”, does not easily fall into a provoked state. To such a creature I want to be near for there is no fear that it would ever crush the things I hold dear.

One of my favorite Sufi Songs now comes with English subtitled lyrics for the first part that most of us don’t understand. Titled ‘Aik Alif’ or ‘One God’ this song is a beautiful mix of spirituality, traditional and new musical influences.
For those who do not understand Hindi that comes in the last bit of the song here is what he’s singing.
‘One who doesn’t know the power of truth, God doesn’t provide him/her with courage.’
‘…My father rarely asked me while I was growing up, what I wanted to become. He usually didn’t know what year of studies I was in when asked. His awareness was same for my brother and two sisters.
It’s not that he didn’t care. He did. He was very proud when I became the first graduate of our family. He talked about my ‘good’ second class for years after, since my younger brother barely scraped through college.
Today, when I see parents in Talkatora Stadium dropping off their kids for an early morning tennis practice, I can’t help but smile to myself thinking what my father would have said. His Chaudhary heart cared for all village kids’ well-being equally and such individual kid attention would have made him laugh. I personally have, for years, struggled with the balance of being an affectionate father and a stoic coach. Only when I am turning Grandfatherly that I am listening to the father inside me more.
In Bhiwani, I spoke with my Asst. Coach, who was at the last held trials, about Jasbir. I wanted to find out why I felt some bitterness in Jasbir’s voice when I congratulated him…..’
