Even if spiritual masters are not your cup of tea, you can appreciate them for what they bring to the world. It's not like when you're a little girl or boy you dream of being a spiritual master. It's not exactly the most popular or well-paid profession. And the kind of notoriety you get (if you get any notoriety) is not the type your mother brags about at bridge club. So you might wonder why someone would become a spiritual master.
Here's my theory. Being a spiritual master is something that happens to you, not something you seek or work toward. You just get to a point in your own spiritual development where others start to listen to what you say. They want to know how you got where you are. Simple.
Kalindi G., my own spiritual master, is like no other spiritual master. Why? Here are three of the reasons:
1. She is "different" and flamboyant. Each time you see her she looks different. She wears feather boas and pink silk pajamas one time, a red business suit the next, all white the next time. She wears wild jewelry, sometimes a ring on every finger, sometimes big jewels of many colors around her neck. Kalindi completely expresses herself on every occasion. She is not bound by conventional rules about what a spiritual master should look like or act like. I find this incredibly refreshing and recognize the truth in it. She teaches about the glory of change and she lives her teaching.
2. She is outrageous and she is who she says she is. Kalindi says she is the voice of God and spiritual master for the world. She says things like this, and then, at the same time, steps out of the way and points you to God. Always God. She says God is all there is and the only way you can become free is by going within and finding the truth for yourself. To me that sounds like something the voice of God would say. During the 15 years I have known Kalindi, I have raised my eyebrows more than once at things she's said or claims she's made. But every time, she ended up being right. So I know she is who she says she is.
3. She tells it straight and makes her teachings widely available. Kalindi doesn't dress things up so they are easier to hear. She doesn't decide things like that -- or anything else -- by material standards. She is brilliant in her simplicity and innocence and complete faith in God. She has books and audio and video recordings of her teachings. She doesn't water things down so everyone will like it. The truth is the truth and, as she teaches, the truth is ever-changing.
Even if Kalindi doesn't fit your pictures of what a master should be like or rather, because she doesn't fit your pictures, you owe it to yourself to be with her if you get the chance. She will blow your mind and take you deep into the heart of God. You won't know what happened to you, but you will find yourself different.
Come fall in love with Kalindi G.
