WHAT ISRADDH?
When the student is ready, the teacher appears!
In this regard, the Sanskrit word(raddh) is very meaningful: it is made byconjoining two words--rad(truth) anddh(embrace); literally, the ability to
embrace or embody the truth. It has two part qualifications: the ability (in terms of
preparation) and the attitude of devotion and humility.
: "" "" (competence) "" (humility)
When these two factors coalesce, trueraddhis born. And when that happens, the
whole universe conspires to bring the seeker to the doorsteps of the Temple of Gnosis.
Or sometimes, the transmission comes rolling at the seeker's doorsteps.
This is true in both the secular and, even more so, in the sacred realm, for they are one
only.
Such are the ways of the Compassionate Divinity.
