“God as Your Guru”

There is an expression out of India that goes, “When the chela, or student, is ready, the Guru, or teacher, shall appear.” Most people take this to mean that when a physical student has reached a point in their consciousness where they are open to receiving teachings of higher spiritual truth, or God-Realization, the spiritual teacher of higher truth, or enlightenment, will appear as a physical teacher in their life.

In such a state, people feel that their lives are at a halt, and that no matter what they seem to do, they do not appear to move from the same frustrating spot which has become all too familiar, with its demonstrations of barren productivity.
