“There is no time limit for self-realization. It could happen quickly in minutes, or take as long as one could take. Once mind is stilled and impurities cleared, then one is near the goal. The time factor depends on the level of Being. The guru is always with the disciple. There is no question of leaving him at all. The guru will never leave him unless he sees the disciple reaches his goal of self-realization. Even death would not break the relationship, so one should be carefree because the help from the guru is assured. As long as realization hasn’t been achieved by the disciple, a mental picture remains in the mind of the self-realized man until the disciple has reached his goal and they are united. One can be very sure of being cared for.”
