Most people are afraid and lonely, though some put on a good disguise to hide it. They busy themselves with work and television and mowing the lawn but deep down they are seeking comfort and a connection with others and the source. Happy is the seeker who takes off the disguise and shows his/her vulnerability and human condition to the world. The person who prostrates himself down at the feet of his guru asking, “help me get closer to the truth of what is; help me get closer to the source.” In this way, he/she will not only get closer to the source of the divine, but will get closer to their true nature (without the masks, or disguise).
