how to find guru/master

[TheSomeBody]

i really want to devote myself fully to spirituality but i feel that i need a master/guru

how do  i find it?

can i find it ? it finds me?

I recommend reading "if truth be told".

it's a real life story about a man who became rich and renounced his wealth to become enlightened. He was at first with a guru who abused him, and all the time he listened to his inner voice and became enlightened at the end. 

dont trust gurus, trust your inner voice.

When you are ready, the master shall appear. Follow the Synchronicities.

Guru as explained by other gurus isn't a guru (Lol)

A guru can be a book , it can be the internet and you can be your own guru...

If you are searching for a person, then you already found one (Leo Gura)

Find other gurus in books.

The disciple does not seek the master. The master seeks the disciple.

Actually sitting with a real guru in person is a much different experience than reading a book or watching a video.

Three forms of authority to be aware of.

1. The guru

2. The book-video

3. The (accumulation of experience, knowledge, memory), as the i, that seeks security in time-thought. 

 

Any psychological dependence on either one is to invite confusion, contradiction, and further perpetuate fear. 

 

Number three seems to be the most difficult  to be aware of, as that fuels this compulsion to adhere to both #1and #2 of the first two forms of authority. 

 

If #3 is understood holistically, the movement to move in accordance to #1 and #2 ends.
