Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Awakening of the Upa Guru The purpose of holy rudraksha is awakening of the Upa Guru (self). We have Guru within us as we are all part of the same divine light that created us. Through our Karma, faith, devotion and holy rudraksha, we can awaken ourselves to get self realisation (enlightenment). The Great saints of the past like Sai Baba, Buddha, Meera Bai, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa to count among millions were all enlightened by Upa Gurus and not by any Human Guru. Once a person is enlightened he realises that: He is Brahman the Pure Soul. His inner weaknesses of anger, greed, pride and deceit are destroyed. He experiences self bliss. Doership and worries diminish as he understands who is the real doer. He sees his own faults instead of seeing the faults of others. This results in inner peace and harmony in life. He is moved to ask for forgiveness for one's mistakes. He realises that one's soul is absolutely free and pure regardless of the weaknesses of the body-mind-ego complex. He strives to unite with the holy light to achieve Moksha which is ultimate bliss. /showarticles.php?artid=263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
