I considered myself to be the best student of spirituality and so I thought I was a great teacher. But perhaps Nature had other plans. I guess it wanted me to refine and fine tune my thought process. Nature is harsh when it teaches you and I think good students are aware of this fact… Half the day had gone and I was completely demolished not a single thing worked for me. My face had gained weight as my problems had completely taken over me. People always complimented me for my smile. I had a dimple on both sides of my face. They used to say I am damn lucky but today my face had let me down I was looking real horrible I was down and out, dragging on with no hope breathing foul air into the universe and cursing everything lying before me… The best student had failed miserably….
I wanted to call John and tell him what had happened… But I considered myself to be the best student of spirituality. having discovered most of the tools for living a great life and I had some great admirers and was really doing very well. I thought problems could never empower me at all. At some point I even felt I had a better spiritual grounding than John…. But yesterday the best student had failed miserably….
I did not call John …. I did not think it necessary… I had great respect for his knowledge for all that he has done to this universe, of all the wonderful books he had written, of the compassion he has shown to tens and thousands of people worldwide …He was a real spiritual icon ….. He had mentored me from a zero to a hero but I did not think it necessary to call him…. They say that when the student is ready the master arrives but after the master shares his / her knowledge the student tries to empower the master and so he always remains a student….
