Ignorance and the guru - - -

[Guest guest]

The word Guru means Removal of Ignorance, which is like darkness. The letter

‘Gu’ indicates ‘Darkness’ and the letter ‘Ru’ indicates its removal. This

darkness is not in physical sense, which can be removed by Sunlight. Some

people worship Sun as Guru. But it is not correct because Sun is the inert

globe and can remove the darkness in physical sense only. Removal of darkness

by Sun is a best simile or an example or a representative model of the concept.

You should not think the model as concept. The concept is removal of ignorance

by the Lord who comes in the form of spiritual preacher called as ‘Satguru’.

When you are in a state of unawareness of a concept, such a state is called as

ignorance (Ajnana). Now when you are aware of the concept, the knowledge

(Jnana) came to you.

 

Any Guru (Preacher) can remove the ignorance and can give the knowledge of the

concept. But only Satguru who is the Lord in human form can show the correct

concept by discrimination by logical analysis (Vijnana) and this correct concept

is the final conclusion (Prajnana). Therefore, Guru gives Jnana by removing

Ajnana. You are ignorant of the knowledge of Physics. Guru removes your

ignorance by giving the knowledge of Physics. This knowledge of Physics is

Jnana, which can be called as Bhowtika Sastra Jnana. Like this there are

several forms of knowledge, which are related to this world and all these forms

can be called as knowledge. Therefore, you can call your Physics teacher also

as Guru. But the knowledge of this world can give you food, money and comforts

in this world. But this knowledge cannot save you after death, which you will

fully realize in the last minutes of your life. The knowledge, which can save

you forever is the best knowledge and that is

called as ‘Prajnana’. The suffix ‘Pra’ means best. This Prajnana is the

divine knowledge and is also called as ‘Brahma Jnana’. In the name of Prajnana

again there are several wrong misleading concepts. You have to separate them.

 

In Prajnana again there are several steps and you should not sit in the lower

step thinking that as the final step. The true spiritual knowledge must be

filtered from all the impurities and also the various steps in the pure

spiritual knowledge should also be realized. All this is possible only by the

logical analysis (Yukti), which does not contradict the experience of realized

souls (Anubhava) and which follows the word of the God (Veda) and its following

texts written by sages (Smruti). All this process is called Vijnana and the

final conclusions are called Prajnana. Vijnana and Prajnana are possible only

with the help of Satguru.

The letter `Gu' indicates `Darkness' and the letter `Ru' indicates its

" You " are not 'in' a state of unawareness.........You are unawareness.

 

In Awareness 'You' are annihilated.
