Dear Nara Narayanas,

1. Question: Who is a perfect Guru?Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: A perfect Guru is one who has seen God and helpsyou reach Him. 2. Have you seen God?Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: God has seen me.3. Is it possible for someone to lead a life oftruthfulness without a Guru?Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:One has to have an enormous amount of will power tolive a life of truthfulness without a Guru. 4. For over a long period of time many Gurus and Sageshave come and gone. There have been innumerabledisciples for these Gurus. These disciples were, nodoubt, devoted their Gurus, but when they move intothe world, become hard-hearted, corrupt andmaterialistic. Why can the Gurus not change at least10% of their disciplesSri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:The Uttama Guru will never try to perform anygimmicks or mesmerism to try to bring about a changein the disciple. That is the work of a magician andnot of a Uttama Guru!The Adi Guru, Lord Dakshinamurthi Himself had onlyfour disciples worth mentioning. Goodness in any person is an attribute and is orientedtowards action. This itself will not result in Mukti(Liberation). In his great work Viveka Chudamani,Adisankara Bhagavatpada has said that Mukti does notresult from Dhaana (charity), Sankhya Yoga or through millions of Pranayama. It results solely from Jnanam and this is possible only through the grace of the Guru. Guru's grace is not an act in isolation but a natural

result when he is extremely pleased and happy with thedisciple. If that happens, the disciple is transformedspontaneously. For the disciple of a Uttama Guru to begood, all his vasanas should be destroyed. This is a silent internal transformation and is donegradually within and not through force. This may noteven be noticed by the disciple himself. If the disciple is truly attached to the Uttama Guru,this internal transformation will happen slowly butsurely. With Love & OM!
