Elijah and Elisha's relationship is very much needed in our context, too. We need friends, companions, guides, directors
and spiritual directors. It is a fact in the world today; that each one guides
and leads himself/herself. We have Google and AI to guide us. These search engines and machine
learning are perfect and excellent but in day-to-day life and especially in
spiritual life, one needs spiritual friends, spiritual guides and leaders.
The relationship between Elijah and Elisha
is a spiritual friendship and spiritual guidance. Elijah chooses Elisha. He decided to
stay with him and go along with Elijah. Elisha develops a healthy attachment to
Elijah and requests him to bless him to be his double. This wish of Elisha is
granted and, on the way, back Elisha divides the river Jordan like Elijah.
Do you have a healthy Spiritual attachment with
someone?
