When i seem to have difficulties communicating with humans i usually revert to reading the SRF Lessons. Brother Bhaktananda told us that if we want to stay in touch with the Guru we should read the SRF lessons. i can't say that i read them every day, but i do read them quite often. i often ask for guidance and put my finger in one of the SRF notebooks and see what comes my way today. Quite often it is in answer to something i am going thru or answers questions i have with someone else.
If we are true seekers on the spiritual path and have spirit guides or masters and/or a guru they may take people away from us at different times in our lives so we learn how to better communicate with the silence within us and hear the spirit whispers that have been trying to break thru the dense thickness of our material desires and physical consciousness.
I hope to immerse myself in the vibrations of the Master(s) as I find at times others are not satisfied with my ability to satisfy them as they desire. Or they find my views intolerable. I know it is not possible to please everyone so I must work on my own journey in solitude when this recognition becomes apparent to me.
I must be eternally grateful that I was put in the presence of a god realized soul like Brother Bhaktananda who showed fathomless wisdom and humility in the face of the immensity of this physical creation and all the high souls he spent time with, including Paramahansa Yogananda.
