Spiritual awakening

"If you are on a train and you have a question to ask, who do you ask if not the conductor? If we are on a different road, and we meet a group of people, do we not go to the person we think is the most knowledgeable in the area? Whom do we ask in the wanderings of the spiritual path? Surely not to men of the flesh, but to men of the spirit. Those who steer the bits and reins with the strongest hand; those whose sense of home is stronger than ours; those whose minds are clearer than ours. For they know best the way, the truth, the life. Jesus was the man of the most advanced spirit on earth; no man mentions the separateness of soul and body so often as he does, so no man felt it so much, no man was so well informed in this respect as he was, no man can give such sure instruction as he can. His instructions are written in the Gospels."
