How a Guru Taught Single-Minded focus to His Disciple?
Gurdjieff, the great philosopher, mystic, and spiritual Guru used to say, “In order to realize God and connect with His energy, seekers should meditate and focus all their energy on Him.”
One of his disciples, however, had some doubts.
He came to Gurdjieff and said, “I fail to understand, how someone can focus all energy on a single point. Is that possible?”
Gurdjieff replied, “I will remove your doubts; meet me tomorrow morning by the river.”
The disciple visited him the next morning, thinking, “I am fortunate that my Guru is showing me the right path exclusively.”
But to his utter shock, Gurdjieff did something freaky with him.
He got frightened, but his Guru’s bizarre action removed all his doubts and he understood how single-minded meditation is the way to connect with the energy of God.
