Q: How do we know whether a master is enlightened or not among all the other masters in the world?🔗

I tell you, whether the master is enlightened or not, if your heart feels connected, go behind him. Even if he is not enlightened, you will become enlightened. Understand, if your heart feels connected, just go behind him. Even if he is not enlightened you will become enlightened.

If your heart does not feel connected, even if he is enlightened, he cannot help you. Even if he is enlightened, if your heart is not feeling connected to him, if you are not feeling that vibration, that ecstasy, that falling in tune with him, he will not be able to help you.

Just forget about it, so you don't have to bother about whether somebody is enlightened or not. Bother more about whether you feel connected or not. Judging the masters is one of the best ways to avoid spiritual growth. If you want to avoid spiritual growth, the best method is judging the masters. Start judging, so you don't have to judge yourself! The other day, one young man asked me, 'Like Vivekananda asked...' Ramakrishna, 'Have you seen god?' I am asking you, 'Have you seen god?'

I told him, when Vivekananda asked Ramakrishna, Ramakrishna said 'Yes' and Vivekananda was courageous enough to follow Ramakrishna. Not only have I seen but I can also show you god. Come with me.

The man just disappeared! We go on judging the master but we never worry about our qualifications.

I tell you, if your heart feels connected, if you feel some goodness being around him or some charm about him, just go behind him. Even if he is not enlightened, you can become enlightened. I have seen many disciples becoming enlightened, but the masters were unenlightened.
