Gita posting..

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Rick.

 

I am rereading that chapter. Beautiful, and so scarily apt, that it makes

the hairs rise on my scalp, and closes my throat with emotion. Truly

dateless.

 

Thanks again,

Usha

<< The Gita verse was III, 37. I'll post more, maybe tonight. Regarding gurus

getting angry, in light of the "blocked desire" explanation for anger: The

guru is cosmic intelligence incarnate; God in human form. It is the desire

of cosmic intelligence that everything evolve. If the disciple, who has

submitted himself to the guru, behaves in ways contrary to the force of

evolution (God's/Guru's will), then the "desire" of God/guru (the cosmic

force of evolution) is blocked, and that collision of desire with opposing

force results in anger, in this case "cosmic" anger. It's not individual,

egocentric anger based on need and weakness and lack. It's the grace of God

helping to rid the individual of impediments to his enlightenment.

 

That's my take on why Amma, Maharishi, and other gurus "get" angry.
