Logic Of Meditation-Part III
Your Prophet, your Lord, or your guru can be the deity of your mental worship. It is not at all of importance what form symbolises our concept of the Higher. There is absolute freedom for you to conceive and consider the Supreme through any symbolism. And, symbolism cannot be avoided, as, at this moment of our development, we are still living in the plane of the mind. The mind cannot conceive the formless and the infinite.
The guru or the teacher, for the purpose of meditation, is the one who has guided us to detect and experience the divinity in ourselves. He need not necessarily be a priest or a monk: he can be a friend of yours, a relation, a leader among mankind or an insignificant man in your neighbourhood. He who has, through his life and work, unveiled to us a greater vision and provided us with a thirst to aspire, kindled in us a greater hunger to live and face our problems, is our guru.
The guru may be a book, or may be a passing statement of another in a different context altogether, or may be an experience in life itself. The teacher is one by remembering whom we immediately become a critic of ourselves. He is a guide who, at all moments of moral and ethical compromises, rise up somewhere in our memory to warn us not to fall a prey to the temptations, and lends us new courage and strength to come away from the enchanting fascination of the moment and heroically walk the rugged path of righteousness.
A mind that is rendered free from the treacherous influences of its subconscious through the processes of the 'thought parade' and the japa, becomes highly elevated and upturned, inspired and divinised when it remembers the teacher or the Lord. Try to see clearly this inspiring ideal in your favourite posture and draw your inspiration from His presence.
