It’s not easy to find/recognize/discover a genuine spiritual master/guru/guide
A spiritual master/guru/guide can be elusive and couldn’t even discovered by his/her own family,relatives,friends,neighbors and countrymen.You couldn’t see their extraordinary aura or halo unless if you are a clairvoyant or an advanced soul.They might lead a very normal…ordinary life as a carpenter,mason,shepherd,blacksmith,taxi driver,construction worker,a former prince,etc.A classic example is Jesus.When Jesus left home to teach the people, his very own brothers and sisters did not believe in him.
And so they rejected him.
Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is respected everywhere except in his hometown and by his own family.” ~ Matthew 13:57
When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind”. ~Mark 3:21
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” ~ Mark 3:31-32
His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see the works that you are doing.For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil. ~ John 7:37
