Who and how can become a saint
A spiritual discourse on the nature of the guru's grace and discipleship, using metaphorical teachings.
"When a single draft comes, if we can catch that one draft, we are already in the ocean." "Once you have that guru, a real guru, then you, we all will be there."
The teacher, returning after some time, delivers a satsang weaving together parables and metaphors—including the lifecycle of a wasp (Brahmari), the process of childbirth, and a story about a dog losing its chapati—to illustrate the elusive nature of true spiritual attainment and the singular, irrevocable bond with an authentic guru. He emphasizes purity, complete surrender, and warns against the distracted mind that seeks many things.
