Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Dear Sir, Meditation in silence alone is not enough your soul must talk to you in silence for that you need to accept that all objects are gods grace. You should be able to leave your body and see yourself as the seer. Here is Maharishis remarks on this subject Question: How is one to decide upon a proper Guru? What is the swarupa [the real form or true nature] of a Guru? Bhagavan: He is the proper Guru to whom your mind is attuned. If you ask, how to decide who is the Guru and what is his swarupa, he should be endowed with tranquillity, patience, forgiveness and other virtues capable of attracting others even with the bare eye, like the magnetic stone, and with a feeling of equality towards all – he that has these virtues is the true Guru. If one wants to know the true Guru swarupa, one must know one's own swarupa first. How can one know the true Guru swarupa if one does not know one's own swarupa first? If you want to perceive the true Guru swarupa, you must first learn to look upon the whole universe as Guru rupa [the form of the Guru]. One must have the Gurubhavam towards all living beings [that is, seeing everything as the Guru]. It is the same with God. You must look upon all objects as God's rupa. How can he who does not know his own Self perceive Iswara rupa or Guru rupa? How can he determine them? Therefore, first of all know your own real swarupa.(3) Ravi Sankar Lusaka, Zambia BT Broadband - Free modem offer, sign up online today and save £80 BT Broadband - Free modem offer, sign up online today and save £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
