from last week:.....

but who is Guru ? What can he (He) do? How do we know he (He) is qualified to

teach us?

Sri Swamiji is giving a detailed account for a proper understanding of the

quality of Guru. in the verse: " Gurorvidyaatmano naanyat satyam satyam

Preamble: now Pujya Sri Swamiji elaborates the subject further.

 

" Rudaaha vidyaa jaganmaaya dehesti dhvaata rupini

Tadvaarakaha prakashashca guru shabdeena kathyate "

 

IIlusion has changed into the world.She herself is the delusion and

personification of TAMAS.That delusion is embedded in the body of every.The

light that can dispel that delusion is called Guru.

 

Illusion and Delusion are one and the same.It envelops our body in the form of

darkness.The more one wants to flee away from it,the more does it grow in

him.That is the very nature of Illusion.

 

One begins to think, " what is this ? Even as I try to enter into the spiritual

path,this darkness is growing in me. " There is one reason for this.You have not

really started the spiritual life,but whiling away your time just thinking of

beginning it.

 

Your mind doesn't permit you to start the spiritual life indeed.As you have a

big house with compound,fame,wife and children,how can your mind allow you to

enter into the spiritual path?           

 

Your mind can't enter.   Even at the time of death,you will be pondering over

these things.

This is nothing but illusion and darkness.

 

                     The only light that can prevent it is the One called Guru.

 

  next week Pujya Sri Swamiji defines a Guru:
