Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 In the preliminary stages of spiritual Saadhana, name, form and quality all have their part to play in the moulding of the spirit. The Guru destroys the illusion and sheds light; his presence is cool and comforting. That is why this day, a Pournami (full moon day), is allotted for paying due honour to the Guru. Moreover, the moon is the presiding deity of the mind and Pournami is the day on which the mind has become fully beneficent. Of course, you must know what you have lost, so that you may start on the search to recover it! The Guru has very often to tell you that you have forgotten your real name or that you have lost the most precious part of yourself and yet are unaware of the loss. The Guru is the physician for the illness which brings about the suffering of alternate birth and death. He is an adept at the treatment needed for the cure. If you do not get such a Guru, pray to the Lord Himself to show you the way and He will surely come to your rescue. - From Swami's Guru Poornima Discourse on August 1st, 1956 Bring your gang together.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Dear to all Sai Children.............. The article that you have written is 100% correct. I cried and cried everyday to receive god's darshan. I wasnt satsfied just by praying to him but wanted to be closer with him. My soul was not satisfied but getting hungery all the time. I did not know how to get any closer but Swami showed himself via his beautiful website... Now I know how to channel myself with Jothi Meditation. 30 years it took me to find Bhagavan...
