INSTRUCTIONS ON DUALITY.

The external guru acts as a catalyst and explodes the experience of the inner guru. Duality should go. lf the duality does not go then the inner guru does not manifest. What is duality? You must also know that. When the perception and the perceiver are seen differ ently, it's called duality. In duality there is subject and object all the time. In dreams you have duality because you are the seer of the dream. In external life, day to day life, there is always duality because you are the experiencer and the world is the experience. When your relationship with the guru becomes very intense, then you forget the duality for some time.

When duality begins to disappear for some time, for a short time there is a sort of imbalance. When you drink a little more alcohol you know some sort of im balance is there, or when you take a drug like mari juana. The imbalance which is caused by the intense relationship between you and your guru is different, but it can be felt by every true disciple.

This imbalance which a true disciple experiences is a philosophic imbalance or sometimes it is an im balance concerning your relationship with other people, or with the objects in your daily life. Sometimes you have a little problem with your family, sometimes you have a little problem with your previous beliefs, some times you have a problem with your attachments, but this is very temporary. If you can patiently wait, then this imbalance will be settled.

Many times this causes great concern in the life of the disciple, because you have one mind. When you give your whole mind to your guru then you have difficulty relating to others. If you give a little of your mind to your guru, a little to your job, a little to your friends and a little to the people you love, then there is a lot of dissipation. In ordinary life we can maintain this balance. You love your children, you love your hus band, you give love to your wife, you relate with your friends and to your business and professional work, but this balance is sometimes lost on account of this intensity of relationship between guru and disciple.
