When
you learn to honor everybody you meet as your teacher, you'll see that
there is nothing else you can do but be conscious, for the good of
yourself and your fellow men and women. You begin to see that everything
in your universe becomes your teacher - so your teacher is everywhere.
You don’t have to rush to India because it’s always right where you are.
There are beings who can get as high as any enlightened being ever got,
sitting in the middle of Topeka, Kansas or in the middle of New York, or
in the middle of anywhere. It depends on your readiness, and that has
to do with your karma or your readiness to get on with it.
Ram Dass
