A Meditator Needs No Personal
Guidance
"If you can become just your own self, if you can
blossom into your intrinsic nature, then only you will have
blissfulness – a peace which cannot be expressed in words, and a
certain poetry to your being; a certain dance to your being, because
you will be in tune with existence. To be in tune with yourself is
the only way to be in tune with existence. Nobody needs personal
guidance, because all personal guidance is a beautiful name for
dependence on somebody and he is going to distort you."
"A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators. Because whatever goes on happening within us is not only within us, it affects people who are close by. In this communion people are at different stages of meditation. To meditate with these people, just to sit silently with these people, and you will be pulled more and more towards your own intrinsic potentiality."
