Dear Friends
Surrender! Surrender to your Guru. But is it easy ? So easy ? Our ego never melts. To trust a living teacher is full of danger. And in this age where Nityanands are torch - bearers.
When our own mind is not stable, how can we trust any other one?
A deep trust is needed for a living master and that is not so easy.

Again there comes the point that one’s own wisdom is to be followed first.
Now, when wisdom will take decision then doubts are sure to be there. And a living teacher is hundred percent just like us. He eats, sits, talks, walks and lives like us. Where lies the difference ?
Friends, I wrote in my previous post also that if your awareness increases being in contact with the chosen Guru; then you are on the right path and with a right person. If tranquility and peace increase you are with the right person. If you are getting out of the Tamas you are with the right person.
And the right person will demand nothing from you ; no money, no service and not even surrender. Because right person is never empty. I am not talking about worldly things. He may be penniless. Rather, he will be so. But he will be full of compassion, blessings, love and pure consciousness.
But friends, beware! Babas are there to befool you. Swamis are there to make sex. Bapus are there to misguide you in every way. There is a saying – Better alone than in a bad company.
When find a Guru follow him, follow the way. The universal nature has set a software in you that will automatically tell you whether you are with a right person or not.
Trust is not a quality that you have to cultivate. It is there in you.
You never distrust your mother. Never . Has anybody told you to trust your mother ? No , it is there. By nature it is there.
So, you will have a mother like feeling with a right person. Safe, secure, full of warmth and unconditional love.
If such a Guru is there. Surrender!
But it will happen spontaneously. You will not have to surrender, but the surrender will happen. You will feel something has started melting in you.
When you are with a right person, half of the journey has been completed.
May He help you in your journey.
Hari Om Tat Sat!

When you say that being in touch with the Guru, you awareness will increase... What kind of a awareness you are talking about??? Is it that person will be able to understand him/her self better? or is it that he will have more knowledge of right or Worng??What kind of a awareness one should look at?
ReplyDeleteDear friend
ReplyDeleteAwareness is awareness. How can awareness be divided? Do you think you will become more clever than before? If you think so, you are in the wrong. The more awareness is there, the more peace, the more tranquility is there. The more awareness is there means you will be less greedy, less sexual, less angry: but full of compassion, full of energy and positivity. You will be more creative and will have more clear vision towards life. Thanks and welcome!
So my understanding id that to have the awareness , one must have a Guru..and that Guru can be in any of the three ways mentioned by you..Now How one makes somebody his or her Guru?? Is it in one's mind or is there a way of going about it??
ReplyDeleteDear friend
ReplyDeleteThe Guru is and must be always in mind. No exhibition is needed. Psychic union is needed and not physical. Thanks and welcome!
