Welcome again Balaji-ji

Hari OM!

 

Dear Balaji,

 

If you are not sure about Sanyasa and you do not want to take Sanyasa

that is fine,but never say that Guru is enjoying or not enjoying,

your frequency should be different to say that.

 

As far as accepting H H Saradapeetham as guru is concerned, I cannot

Nothing like that you should remain with the Guru for 24 hours, if

you are lucky enough and blessed enough, it is all the projections

of the mind. Guru can be far away and still you can communicate with

him.

 

Who ever asks whether I can take Sanyas is not fit to take Sanyas.

The mind should be purified and matured, before taking the oath of

Sanyas. There is no young and old in Advaita, In Advaita there is no

age, Who ever is having the firm convitction about the SELF and he is

really a teacher. Even if he is at the age of 8 or 16, for exampl

Sankaracharya.

 

With Love & OM!

 

Krishna Prasad

I have written a post explaining why I wrote as such. I fully

understand your point, and shall pay heed to it. It is a perfectly

correct statement you have made. I donot have the ability to judge

what Jagadguru muses or thinks and hence should not comment on it. My

apologies. However, if you read my post regarding this issue, you

would understand the reason for my statement.

 

And about sanyas, I have to still develop vairagya to do anything

about renunciation. Although I pay heed to the notion that external

renunciation is not necessary, I might have to do so at some point in

life, when the need arises and when I think it would help me most.

However, I fully agree with your statement that he who asks about it

is not prepared. I understand my position well now and realize my

inability to think of sanyas now. Once again let me thank you for

drawing my attention to this. I must move in the pursuit of dharma.

 

Satyameva Jayate Naanrtam
