If the yogis is that stage then one doesn't have to worry abt what one

utters as long as it comes from deep within heart and not even a single

piece of intelligence is involved in it. And these utterances themselves

become Mantra.

 

What is imp. is the deep and divine love. If one has that then one doesn't

require mantraas. if not then yes one does require them.

 

Its not wise to play with knife as we like thinking lord will come to save

me.

Devotion can be there but it won't turn to be fruitful unless Guru is

there.

 

i was reading one article and that too highlighted the importance of

Guru. Ved Vayas even after accumulating much much knowledge in Vedas,

Shaastraas etc. was feeling empty. And was thiking over it. It so happened

Naarad Muni was goig through that path. Seeing Ved Vyaasji in that state

he enquired why is the holy one perturbed. Ved Vyaasji narrated his

feelings to Naarad Muni. Naaradji then advised him to find an able Guru.

Then Ved Vyaasji obtained discipleship from Lord Shree Krishna.

True but the problen is the voice which come out of us is never a pure

one. What u say is true " We should be steady in our worship to God. & in

doing so, our eyes will be open to Guru when he/she come to our lives. "

 

Its Guru who finds us through diffeent means.
