To rise in consciousness from one dimension to another you need help.
The help may not always be in the shape of a human person, it may be a subtle
presence, or a spark of intuition, but help must come.

The inner Self is watching and waiting for the son to return to his father.
At the right time he arranges
everything affectionately and effectively.

Where a messenger is needed or a guide, he sends the Guru to do the needful.
