Dattatreya
May one have more than one spiritual master?
Sri Ramana Maharshi :
Who is a master?
He is the Self after all.
According to the stages of development of the mind the Self manifests as the master externally.
The famous ancient saint Dattatreya said that
he had more than twenty-four masters.
The master is one from whom one learns anything.
The Guru may be sometimes inanimate also,
as in the case of Dattatreya. God, Guru
and the Self are identical.
A spiritually-minded man thinks that God is all-pervading
and takes God for his Guru.
Later, God brings him in contact with a personal Guru
and the man recognises him as all in all.
Lastly the same man is made by the grace of the master
to feel that his Self is the reality and nothing else.
Thus he finds that the Self is the master.
