Here are a couple more quotes: bodhaH kaluSitas tena daurAtmyam prakatI-kRtam gurur yena parityaktas tena tyaktah purA hariH "One pollutes his own intelligence and exhibits severe weakness of character when he rejetcs his own spiritual master. Indeed, such a person has already rejected the Supreme Lord, Hari." Brahma-vaivarta PurANa [reference: SB 11.3.48] pratipadya gurum tastu mohadvi prati padyate sa kalpa kotim narake pacyate purusa dhamaH "Any person who has once accepted a bonafide spiritual master and then, due to illusion, gives him up, that lowest person falls into hell for ten million kalpas." (one kalpa is 1000 yugas) Hari-bhakti-vilas 4.365 (also from Brahma-vaivarta PurANa) (If I'm not mistaken, the word pacyate means "he is cooked" --- not a very pleasant situation to be in. Better to stick with your guru.) BTW, would someone please send me the text that I wrote about the guru taking the karma of his disciple? I seem to have lost it. ys pcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
