Finding a Guru

Gurus around us

One should never miss an opportunity to find a guru.  As a matter of fact, one should think of one person a day and make them their guru for the day.  It's like giving them a personal birthday in your head.  Try it.  

For example, my guru today is the newspaper woman of the 51st and lex station.  She gives away the AM new york free newspaper like she is giving you the winning lottery ticket.  She gives you a smile, and wishes you a nice day.  One would never know that she is cold, has problems at home, or whatever.  She smiles and brightens your day with a free newspaper.  She is my guru today.

Other days, your gurus can be individuals such as homeless people, sick people, or the boss that gets on your nerves.  Think about it, how much does every one around you teach you?  Are you grossed out by the homeless person?  How do you know how they got there?  what does that type of judgement say about you, and where the hell is it coming from?  Not a good place.  Your homeless guru just taught you that.  The boss that gets on your nerves, our other example, give him a smile for every time he pisses you off.  Give him a smile and see what that teaches you.  

There are gurus all around us.
