Not that I believe it necessary or, indeed, that such a thing has a place in the TMO (I don't), but according to a story related by Muktananda, it IS possible. In fact, it is a story that I've seen reproduced here on FFL at least once. The story goes something like this: an acolyte approached a guru seeking to become one of his disciples. the aspiring disciple was turned down by the guru again and again. The acolyte then went home, built a statue out of clay of the guru and began to worship it and to attune himself to the statue, ultimately gaining enlightenment. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
