_Steve Power:_ Now, let us go to our phones. Good morning, you are live on WMCA.

Caller: When I choose a particular Guru, should I look at him as a person or should I try to see him as just a pure channel of God? Sri Chinmoy: If you have a teacher, then it is best for you to look at the teacher as a channel, as an instrument of God. You are an instrument of God and your teacher is also an instrument of God. But the difference is that the teacher has become a conscious instrument of God whereas right now you are an unconscious instrument of God. So by listening to the teacher, you will eventually become a conscious instrument of God, as the teacher is right now.
