The presence

The presence of a truly loving person can trigger a warm feeling in the other person. It is not possible to transfer grace through another person; for the grace of God comes from within. Every teaching is expressed in words or symbols. The origin, its living presence, comes from the reality of the soul. In the countertransference of the guru with the teaching to his students, the spiritual master hopes to achieve immortality. With a simple gesture, the guru tries to underline the reality of his teaching. He hopes that his message in written holy scriptures will find an echo in subsequent generations centuries later. A movement, a gesture reveals to the other person the body image of a person, what he could avoid or expand on. The truth of the other person is not revealed in its entirety. Words convey what the other person already understands or does not understand. A other person cannot be the content, for good or bad, of a teaching for someone else.
