This life of ours must be with this higher objective. But the truth is, there is no end for love. Guru-disciple relationship helps us to rekindle this awareness in us and this relationship helps us to realize this goal. A Satguru is an embodiment of pure love. It is love that sustains life on this earth. It is love that sustains all the things and beings. The love of a mother for her child is the most pure form of love that human mind could imagine. But remember my children; the greatest form of love is the one between a Guru and the disciple. All of you must strive to attain this supreme goal. Children, all our actions must take birth from pure love. If and only if our actions spring out of such pure love, they become an offering to Guru. If not, the actions will merely remain as actions – it doesn't become karma yoga. The actions that are performed as an expression of love will help us evolve spiritually. Such actions will become an offering to Guru. It will purify us. This is real devotion. Right now, we have forgotten this love -- which is our essential nature. Do any of you remember this? That is the reason for all our problems. Suppose, if we utter one lie, we keep telling more lies to defend the first lie. Similarly, ‘I am this body’ was the first wrong notion that somehow came up in us. This was soon followed by series of wrong notions and thereby we forgot our essential nature. In fact, consciousness is our true nature, which is love. We forget this and get lost in the feeling that “I am this body”. There by, we waste our precious lives. In pure love, there is no death. Love wins over death. Though Gopis are no more, the love that they had for Krishna stands as a witness to this truth Children, once when our mind is full with God, there is nothing more to think, there is no more sadness. Just as darkness disappears at the arrival of light, all sorrows disappear at the very thought of God. Children, just because you have not been able to remember God, there are sorrow in your lives. Just as there is an idol hidden in each stone, there is divinity deep within each of us. Just as a sculptor, chisels off the entire unwanted portion from the stone, we must remove all unwanted tendencies from us. It is Ego that is the most unwanted thing lying deep within us. We must get rid of Ego. Children, you must follow a routine, a certain discipline in life and try to stick on to it. It is love that makes our life complete. Sat guru is an embodiment of pure love who helps disciple to get rid of all his negativities and take one beyond the realm of birth and death. -------------- Mothersite Amritapuri.org Updates Hugs and smiles It was like right before you go to sleep, I just felt relaxed She does empty your mind, and fills it with bliss Metro West Daily News Computer classes for the tsunami affected.
