62. A puzzle for a blind man
Listen! Master is a new possibility happening in your life. He is a new language. He is a new knowledge. Sometimes I have seen people saying, 'Why do we need a Master? I am doing pretty well in my life already!' Yes, you don't need a Master if you are just going to eat and die. You need a Master only when you want to achieve something extraordinary! The guy who doesn't have eyes, who is born blind, can never understand what he is missing. How much ever people with eyes try to explain to him, the guy will never understand what he is missing. Same way, only a disciple can tell how much the Master has added to his life!
A small story: A bom-blind man was told by his friend that his newborn child was dead. The blind man could not understand, 'How can my child die? How did it happen? Tell me!' The friend said, 'When they were feeding milk to the child, it got stuck to the throat and the child died.'
The blind man asked, 'What is milk?' The friend said, 'It is a white... you don't know what milk is?? It is white in color.' The blind man asked, 'What is white color?' The friend said, 'Do you know about a bird called the crane? The color of the crane is white color The blind man asked, 'But what is the crane bird? The friend could not explain further. He was thoroughly confused. He just caught the man's hands and spread them wide. saying, 'This is how the crane looks!' The blind man said, 'Now I understand! But if you put such a big thing in a baby's mouth, naturally it is going to die!'
Listen: A born-blind man cannot understand what he is missing! A man who has never tasted a Guru in his life will never understand what he is missing in his life! He is a new language in your being. He is a new consciousness in your being. He is a new being in your life.
