Sat Nam, Mark,
I've been running your question through my mind since receiving
this post. I am not confident that I can articulate an answer.
Before I took an interest in Kundalini there had been a Guru in
my life for about 6 years. My introduction to him included messages
such as "I have nothing to give you that you don't already have",
he did not want to be "followed", this trip was about "waking up".
I have left the country 3 times to be in His presence. I've been in
crowds where I have been knocked aside by those who were feverish
to get His blessings. Frankly, I don't understand the feverishness.
When I am in His presence, or listening to one of his videos, or,
reading something that He wrote, I only experience more of myself.
There is no one to be attached to. Attachment means there has to
be a separation where there is none. So, that Guru will always be
in my life because He IS me. It's an "all one" sort of thing as best
as I can figure.
