Contemplating the need and limitation of the ‘GURU’. found some interesting thoughts. With ever changing in the thoughts based on the background of the minds behind them, it’s even more confusing to see the role of a ‘GURU’ at different phases of ones life. Ahhaa, that’s the role of the GURU, to steer you away from all the confusions and get your focus on the right path..
Here’s article that illustrates the change of GURU’s role. And, here this article suggests Discard Guru to Become Enlighten
The Tao that can be told is not the Absolute Tao…. whatsoever can be said cannot be true… do not become a victim of the words…. remember the wordless…the Tao can be communicated, but it can only be communicated from being to being…remember that truth cannot be said…. it can only be realized in silence…. when your inner talk has stopped, then it is realized…and that which is realized in silence, how can you say it in sound? It is experience…. not thought…. So as you read these words, what are you experiencing now?
from Lao Tzu
“We hope to show the world that a private-sector initiative aimed at the bottom of the pyramid can make money,” said Brotin Banerjee, managing director of Tata Housing.”

Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu:
“The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both.”

Re-reading this book- but this time it is helping me a lot better than it did on the first read, just like the way reciting “Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana…” means a little different experience at each phase in life.
A lot of questions were answered in a metaphoricalway and could relate… Reading about this shepherd, think of who are my Sheep, who’s my Alchemist, who’s my crystal merchant , my englishman… and Fatima.
A silence contemplation reflecting these thoughts could solve the puzzles of life.
“Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
By saying something similar to this meaning, thank you dad, you made me move forward when I was resisting the natural path.
“Creatures like the sheep, that are used to traveling, know about moving on.”
“Whenever he saw the sea, or a fire, he fell silent, impressed by their elemental force”
“Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of people are connected, and are able to know everything, because it’s all written there”
:Know that one thing by knowing which everything become known.
“People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.”
“His way isn’t the same as mine, not mine as his. But we’re both in search of our destinies, and I respect him for that”
“Eat when it’s time to eat. And move along when it’s time to move along”
“It would be impossible to be effective in battle if one knew that he was fated to die”
Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?
“Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life and about the world. You will never be able to escape from your heart”
I’m sure i will come back to reading this book again at some point, and what I pickup and how i interpret certainly would have changed, but at the core, its ‘All things are same’. Life really is generous to those who pursue their destiny.
“But this payment goes well beyond my generosity”, the monk responded.
“Don’t say that again. Life might be listening, and give you less the next time”
