Gurdjieff | A Master in Life - Tcheslaw Tchekhovitch (Part 9 | ch.40-)

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1877?-1949) was born in Alexandropol (modern Gyumri, Armenia), near the Persian frontier, where ancient traditions of patriarchal life were still a living influence. Following his tutelage by Dean Borsh of the Kars Military Cathedral, he began, with other ‘Seekers of Truth’, an unremitting search for real and universal knowledge. In 1921, Gurdjieff settled in France, where he founded the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. He continued to transmit what he had learned in the East, elaborating his teaching in two principal works: Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, a cosmological epic fertile with paradoxes, and Meetings with Remarkable Men, a narrative with the undeniable ring of authenticity and a sense of the mystery surrounding the truths he had discovered. Gurdjieff, who was virtually unknown in his lifetime, is becoming recognized as a great spiritual philosopher — a true revolutionary — who saw clearly the direction modern ‘civilization’ was taking, and set about preparing people to discover for themselves, and eventually to diffuse among mankind, the certitude that ‘Being’ is the only indestructible reality. ♦ In 1920, Theslaw Konstantinovitch Tchekhovitch (1900–1958) was a young officer in the Polish contingent of the Tsar’s army, and found himself in Constantinople with other refugees fleeing the forces of the Bolshevik revolution. The title of a public talk, “The ancient wisdom of the East revealed through a new current in Western thought”, caught his attention. Through P. D. Ouspensky, who had organized this talk, Tchekhovitch met Gurdjieff and followed him to France. Tchekhovitch recorded a number of disarmingly simple anecdotes of his life with Gurdjieff. These accounts reveal something of the way in which Gurdjieff used the circumstances of everyday life to convey the essence of a true teaching. It is remarkable how these stories make clear that nothing can take the place of what is lived. Tchekhovitch’s record of his experiences, carefully edited by Michel de Salzmann and Serge Gautier d’Orier, brings us a direct and fresh perception of Gurdjieff as a master in life.
