How to find a Master
A true Guru is found only through the Grace of the Lord. How can a blind man catch a man with sight unless the latter helps him to do so? Whenever the Lord is kind to anyone, He creates circumstances for him to meet a Perfect Master. One can do nothing except pray to Him, sincerely with love.
When He is kind, one meets a Master. One remembers Him, and becomes One with Him.
Oh Nanak! If it is in the mortal’s karma, then he meditates on the Lord, with the Guru as his Spiritual Teacher.
Guru Nanak Dev –
Adi Granth, Malar M1, p. 1257
When the Lord is kind, the Master is kind. A man wanders in many births, but the Master rescues him by means of the Shabd.
If the Merciful Lord shows His Mercy, then the True Guru is found. This soul wandered through countless incarnations, until the True Guru instructed it in the Word of the Shabd.
Guru Nanak Dev –
Adi Granth, Var of Asa M1, p. 465
A master is found only by great good fortune.
Those who are fortunate meet a Master.
Those who have such preordained destiny, come to the Guru and meet Him.
Guru Ram Das –
Adi Granth, Sri Raag M4, Vanajaaraa, p. 82
