388. Swami Vivekananda
26/11/2017 I do not want to get material life. I do not want sense-life but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
For a beginner in the spiritual path, a Guru is necessary. To light a candle, you need a burning candle. Even so, an illumined soul alone can enlighten another soul. Some do meditation for some years independently. Later on, they actually feel the necessity of a Guru, They come across some obstacles in the way. They are unable to know how to obviate these impediments or stumbling blocks. Then they begin to search for a Master.
