Q: Is there a scale to tell if a master will benefit us?

A: If you feel your heart is vibrating higher because of him, even if he is not enlightened, go with him. If you feel connected by him and you feel you will be helped by him don't bother even if he is not enlightened, you will be helped. You will become enlightened. I have seen many incidences where the disciples grow much more than master. Don't bother about it. If you are not able to connect with that person, if your heart is not feeling connected, even if he is enlightened he is not going to help you forget about it. He will not be able to help you. Just go with the heart, which is the only thing I can say.

There is no other scale to find out whether somebody is enlightened or not. I heard somebody is having a meter, really. I heard that somebody created a meter, I don't want to tell his name, he created a meter, he measured Buddha at some seven hundred points, Krishna some 900 points and he put himself as 1000 points.

We don't have to bother about all those things, I don't know at least according to my experience no such meter exists. No meter exists. No experiment can be done. See when they did some research on my brain, they are able to say that something extraordinary was happening, different from other human beings. But they can't prove enlightenment.

Even the research which they did on me it can only prove to the extent, something more than what happens in other human beings is happening; that much only they can say. But they can't say anything about enlightenment itself. How can that be measured? You can't quantify it.
