Spirituality is about complete liberation and freedom. Spirituality not only preach about it but also has imbibed it as true nature. ‘Buddha’ with his unique and ultimate methods of attaining enlightenment, paved a new path for seekers who could not succeeded in finding true spiritual master. He gave the ways to discourage the habitual residing on master for spiritual attainments. But he never has discouraged the ‘master-disciple’ relationship and ‘master-disciple’ tradition. He himself was having many disciples. ‘Kabir’ has said the importance of master in his lines that,
“Guru bin gyan na upaje, guru bin mil na moksh;
Guru bin lakhe na satyako, guru bin mite na dosh.”
Means,
(“Without the Master no one obtains spiritual knowledge or achieves salvation and also without the Master no one can see Truth or have his doubts removed.”)
Its relevance can be seen in the ancient story of Indian epic.
When ‘King Janak’ became eager to do spiritual practice, he called all the saints, spiritual and religious masters to his court. He also had a stage built and said, "Whoever can reveal to me the true Knowledge in same length of time as it take to drink a glass of water, please come and sit on the stage."
All the religious and spiritual masters thought that this could be done only after they had taught him from the very beginning; that knowledge was not like something that could be passed on to him to drink. But one of the sages, named ‘Ashtavakra’, who was himself a realized soul, said that he could do what the king wanted. He was hunchback and ugly, so the people looked down upon him and jeered at him. But after being insulted in this way by others, ‘Ashtavakra’ said, "I was under the impression that this was a meeting of hermits and sages and not of cobblers and low castes."
The king asked him what he meant by these words, and ‘Ashtavakra’ replied, "Judging the beauty and color of a skin is entirely the work of cobblers and people who deal with prostitutes.”
On hearing this, King sought the True Knowledge form ‘Ashtavakra’.
When ‘King Janak’ had seated himself before ‘Ashtavakra’, the sage asked him, "O King, are you certain that you are really eager to have your request granted?"
"There is no doubt whatever in my mind," replied the king. "I am seeking for the True Knowledge with the utmost earnestness."
Ashtavakra then turned to the assembled holy men and asked, "Is there anyone among you, who can impart True Knowledge to the king quickly?"
