155. Propinquity
Madal:Chinmoy, is physical propinquity to one's Guru a blessing or misfortune?
Chinmoy:
Madal, if the disciple uses his nearness to his Guru properly, then it is a stupendous blessing; if nearness is not properly used, then it is a veritable misfortune, the beginning of downfall through jealousy, vanity, doubt and insecurity.
