Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 "So long as there is a world, there are Gurus and Vedas to guide the struggling souls in the path of Self-realisation. The number of realised souls may be less in the Iron Age when compared with the Satya Yuga, but they are always present to help the aspirants, Let each man take the path according to his capacity, temperment, and understanding. His Sadguru will meet him along the path. Guru-kripa, grace of a Guru, is very necessary. That does not mean that the disciple should sit idle. He must do rigid Purushartha, spiritual practices. The whole work must be done by the student. Nowadays, people want a drop of water from the Kamandalu of a Sannyassin and desire to enterinto Samadhi immediately. They are not prepared to undergo and Sadhana for purification and Self-realisation. They want a magic pill to push them into Samadhi. If you have got such delusion, give it up immediately. The Guru and the Shastras can show you the path and remove your doubts. Anubhava of the Aparoksha kind or direct intuitive knowledge is left for your own experience. A hungry man will have to eat for himself. He who has a severe itching will have to scratch for himself. No doubt, the Guru's blessing can do everything. But how can one have his blessings? By pleasing the Guru. A Guru can be please with his disciple only if the latter carries out his spiritual instructions implicitly. Carefully follow, therefore, the instructions of the Guru. Act up to his instructions. Then only will you deservehis blessings, and then alone his blessings can do everything."
