A True Master

Q. How to recognize a master (enlightened one)?

One day, I went on a picnic with some of my friends. We booked a big room there and we all slept close together in the same room. 
I often get up for meditation at 5:00 am. So after the bath, when I sat for meditation, I first saw my friends sleeping in front of me, who were sleepy. In their sleep, they were not conscious at all. Somebody's hand here, someone's leg is there, saliva was flowing from someone's mouth. I carefully inspected them. 
20 minutes later my first friend woke up. He had no awareness of where he was. He rubbed his eyes. He saw his fellow friend slept nearby. He was still not fully conscious. When he got a little conscious, then his attention went to me. Suddenly he became conscious. He knew the situation of me and himself and his colleagues, who are we? What are we here for? Now he was aware of the conditions of three different people, himself. myself and my sleeping friends. He was still half asleep, half awake. The dream of sleep was still going on in his mind. Now what to do next? He was also planning that. 
As soon as he tried to awake one of his friends, our third friend woke up. He had no awareness of himself for a few moments. Now, first friend was aware of the situation of four people, me, himself, just awakened friend and the other sleeping friends.
The same four-five conditions in the world are between sleeping and awake one. If someone, like my first friend, gets a little awakening, then he can easily identify himself and enlightened one among these sleeping people. There is no other way.  
To identify a master, you have to get a little awakening.

23. Can I consider my pet cat to be my spiritual master? No, because a domesticated cat is not as alert or attentive as a wild cat. The wild cat does not walk on built paths. All his actions arise with alertness. But a pet cat, having all the comforts, can become relaxed, lose its alertness. It can be your slave.  How dangerous is the word 'pet'. Can you pet a guru? And the guru who agrees to be domesticated loses being a master. If the cat has to be made a master, then make a wild cat, which is not pet. You can learn to be aware, alert or attentive to it. Pay attention to that how conscious it is to walk, get up, eat. She also appears awake in sleep. You can enter spirituality through this awareness. Learn to be alert like a wild cat. The cat would be spiritual or not you will become spiritual.

IS THERE A GOD?

 Is there a God? There is God, and there is not.  God appears like you, and does not appear like your soul.  God and his creation are one. Like Jesus, Mohammad and Krishna, you and your God are one.  You are visible from the invisible. You only know the visual part. The invisible part remains invisible. That invisible part or your soul only knows the scene. So it is attracted to the scene and keeps taking birth again and again. When it realizes its true form, it becomes the same, the God. You are born with the possibility of being God. You develop from the body, the mind, but remains undeveloped by the soul. This is your weaknes.

Has anyone seen the God?

Has anyone seen God?  Everyone has seen God. Everyone has experience of truth. But that experience does not have to know well. Have not tried to know that. In sleep, when you are lost in a dream then only dreams come true. But as soon as the dream breaks you become established in your being, your God. You see all the joys and sorrows of the dream dissolving with it. Just like a dream, you too are awake, lost in thoughts. After one thought ends and before the second one starts, between two thoughts you experience the truth or God. You don't hold those moments, and they get lost. Beyond thoughts you and your God are one. Do meditation, Give a break to thoughts. You will be able to catch these moments of truth, see God.
