As a man from gandhara, blindfolded,
Led away and left in a holy place,
Turns to east and west and north and south
And shouts, ' I am left here and cannot see!"
Until one removes his blindfold and says
"There lies Gandhara; follow that path"
And thus informed, able to see for himself
The man inquires from village to village
And reached his homeland at last - just so,
My son , one who finds an illumined teacher
Attains to spiritual wisdom in the Self
(Chandogya Upanishad)
Eknath Easwaran
