Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “ . . . if guru asks something, don't hesitate even for a moment. Didn't Ekalavya, the great archer, sacrifice his thumb though he knew that it was Arjuna's jealously that made Drona to ask for his finger? It is not easy to be with a Guru. Many tests confront you. He makes you doubt him. He may even mislead you to believe that he knows nothing. Be careful. Never estimate your Guru from your external findings. A Sadguru has the qualities of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He creates doubts & inquiries in your mind (Brahma.) He answers them directly or indirectly (Vishnu.) He destroys sins and kills the ego (Shiva.)"
