THE DANGER OF HAVING SEVERAL GURUS
Many legends express the danger of having several Gurus.
Let us cite one of them. "One pious woman had three sons. Each of them had
chosen a venerable Rishi as his Guru. But one of them conceived the idea of
increasing his powers by asking two more Rishis to be his guides, though his
mother had warned him of the danger of such a thoughtless action. The time came
when the Rishis began to teach the three youths to fly. The third youth asked
the two other Rishis to strengthen his flights, so that he might be ahead of
his brothers. But the whirlwinds sent from three places crossed and the
light-minded fellow was torn to pieces in the air; whereas his brothers flew
safely in the direction of the Rishi chosen by them." Thus people remember
the law of Hierarchy. One might adopt this law. From every standpoint of knowledge
science confirms other laws of life; however, one should not look with an
oblique eye. ~Hierarchy, 253
