finding one

To love God is to love everyone. A gnostic text speaking from the perspective of God says, "I dwell in everyone." We have all existed forever. The forces that hold together the universe are another way of looking at god. If our ego controlled our bodies we'd be deformed and there would be a lot of problems just like it is difficult to draw a beautiful picture, yet nature provides countless beautiful pictures which is reality. When Shakyamuni predicted Shariputra he said that Shariputra would build a stupa for every buddha that he follows, a countless number of stupas. Do we really need to follow infinite buddhas to attain enlightenment? The yoga sutras have another path free of devotion to spiritual egos. One limb of that path is asana and I've read that there are over a hundred thousand asanas. To master all those asanas would be very difficult and that is just one limb. Perhaps if things only exist in relation to one another, to serve one teacher is as good as serving many because everyone is in everyone. We're all connected and if enlightenment is realizing your one with everything, seeing all buddhas in one teacher should be enough to serve all buddhas.
