guru quotes

[Guest guest]

It is very easy to identify a Guru. Guru is one in whose company

one feels great peace and joy.

 

One feels as if one is very deeply related to him.

 

One feels very close to him.

 

Without him life seems to be purposeless.

 

He is the true guide in life.

 

A true Guru always remains ready to give much to the disciple. A

Guru does not wish for personal fame nor does he want to be

worshipped all over the world. His only wish is to make the

disciples capable and unique so that they could achieve absolute

success in life.

 

A Sadhak should have firm determination that either he shall

procure divine help through Sadhanas or he shall perish in the

process. Such a challenging spirit, such a determination alone can

help one succeed in Sadhanas and only such a person can be called a

Sadhak.

 

When a pot filled with water is immersed into an ocean the water

in the pot becomes part of the vast expanse. Similarly a disciple

through the medium of selfless service to the Guru fuses his soul

with that of the Guru. This process of becoming one with the Guru is

known as Siddhi or divinity.

 

A true disciple is not afraid of death, the society and challenges

of life. He has a fire of determination is his eyes. His hands have

the power to even smash boulders and he is fully devoted in the feet

of the Guru.

 

A Guru has amazing foresight and he well knows on which path the

disciple has to be propelled. And he directs the disciple in a

manner so as to push him onto that very path. Hence a disciple

should make every effort to follow the directions of the Guru.

 

You have to come to me like an empty vessel, like a blank page so

that I could write the secret of total success on it, so that I

could write about the way to totality and divinity upon it. Only

then can I tell you what is totality of life, what is true joy, what

is success and what is the Supreme.

 

Totality in life is possible when a disciple places his head in

the holy feet of the Guru and washes them with the tears of

devotion. This happens when one is truly devoted, when the heart

seems filled with tremendous joy, when one is so overcome with love

for the Guru that words fail and if any word does escape from the

lips it is Guru.

 

Devotion does not mean joining the palms, or singing hymns.

Devotion means following the orders of the Guru without hesitation

and doubt.

 

A disciple always feels like rushing to the Guru. Of course due to

some problem he might not be able to do so but the longing, the

desire is always there to be with the Guru.
