with regard to the last stanza, fulfillment of all worldly desires, we should

however, remember the following Sookti from Sadguru Sookti Sangraha:

 

Love For Guru

If you have developed love for your Sadguru this

itself is a great blessing and grace of the Almighty

god. Your love alone can become a stepping stone for

your spiritual elevation. But you must understand what

love for the Sadguru is. It is bereft of all

expectations and desires. True love asks for nothing

in exchange. Your sadguru knows best what your needs

and wishes are and he is there, for sure, to look

after you. Pure love is full surrender and when there

is full surrender, where is the scope for asking

anything. Just follow your sadguru and be at rest.

Jai guru Datta! ---
