Questioner:
Like many people around me, I am seeking the ultimate Truth and the right
guidance to experience it. Sadhguru, can you tell us how a person finds his
Guru?
Sadhguru:
If you are truly a seeker of Truth, Truth cannot hide from you. It is in the
lap of Truth that you have happened. Most people who claim to be seekers are
only seeking security, solace, or the fulfillment of their desires. Their life
is just an expression of their greed and fear. Do you see, many people in the
world shamelessly claim to be God-fearing? They are not God loving, they are
God-fearing. Unless you have fallen in love with the creation, how can you love
the one who created it? Like Jesus said, “Love thy neighbor.” Everyone can love
God, as He does not demand anything from you, but to love the one next to you
right now costs life. It is a challenge. It takes much courage to do this.
‘Love thy neighbor’ is a very good device for breaking your illusion of loving
the one who is in the heavens.
A genuine seeker, a person who develops an urge within, will always find his
Guru. He may find it in a man, in a woman, or he may find it even in a rock. He
will definitely find it somewhere, there is no doubt about it. When any being
calls or really yearns, the existence answers. If the thirst within you is
strong enough, God always answers.
