(viii) Follow the Master

 

111.. Be loyal to thy Guru. Thou wilt be blessed.

112. Guru is the visible manifestation and spokesman of God.

113. When the disciple is ready, the Guru is ready also.

114. If you strictly follow the path laid down by your Guru,

delusion will wear away from you, little by little, and you will

attain Self-realisation.

115. You must have intense child-like faith and an intense longing

that a child feels to see its mother. You will attain God-

realisation, if you are endowed with such a burning yearning or

aspiration.

116. Devotion energises and sanctifies the heart. Wisdom purifies

and enlightens the mind.

117. Great patience and dispassion, devotion and keen aspiration are

absolutely necessary for successful spiritual life.

118. Grow in silence. Learn in silence. Learn to free yourself from

attachment, pride, egoism and lust.

119. Listen to silence and live in silence. Silence is God.

120. In quietness, silence, confidence, truth, purity and meditaiton

shall be your strength.

121. He who is thoughtless, whose mind is not disciplined, whose

senses are turbulent, cannot attain the goal of eternal bliss,

supreme abode of Brahman.

122. He who is wicked, who is not serene, who is restless, who is

unmeditative can never attain the Self or the Atman.

123. When you understand, feel and realise the indivisible whole,

you will be one with God.
