You have boarded a train to reach a village. You have heard that you need to get down at a station to go to the village. Many a station of the same type come during the journey and the train halts in each one of them. Just because the train halts, you do not get down at any of them with all your luggage, do you? If you get down, you will not be able to reach your destination; you will miss your goal and suffer many hardships, not to speak of delay. The wiser course is to note even before the start of the journey, the list of intermediate stations and the alighting station by approaching some persons who have travelled on the same route before. A Guru (Spiritual Teacher) shows the path and teaches what is beneficial and leads you to the destination. He should be shown respect and gratitude. 

- Sandeha Nivarini.

The mind, the word and the act, all three must be filled with the belief that all is His Play.  That is the genuine path. - Baba
