FAQ - Who is a perfect Guru & similar Questions ?

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

 

1. Question: Who is a perfect Guru?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

A perfect Guru is one who has seen God and helps

you reach Him.

 

 

2. Have you seen God?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

God has seen me.

 

 

3. Is it possible for someone to lead a life of

truthfulness without a Guru?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

One has to have an enormous amount of will power to

live a life of truthfulness without a Guru.

 

 

4. For over a long period of time many Gurus and Sages

have come and gone. There have been innumerable

disciples for these Gurus. These disciples were, no

doubt, devoted their Gurus, but when they move into

the world, become hard-hearted, corrupt and

materialistic. Why can the Gurus not change at least

10% of their disciples

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

The ‘Uttama’ Guru will never try to perform any

gimmicks or mesmerism to try to bring about a change

in the disciple. That is the work of a magician and

not of a Uttama Guru!

 

The Adi Guru, Lord Dakshinamurthi Himself had only

four disciples worth mentioning.

 

Goodness in any person is an attribute and is oriented

towards action. This itself will not result in ‘Mukti’

(Liberation). In his great work “Viveka Chudamani”,

Adisankara Bhagavatpada has said that Mukti does not

result from Dhaana (charity), Sankhya Yoga or through

millions of Pranayama. It results solely from Jnana

and this is possible only through the grace of the

Guru.

 

Guru's grace is not an act in isolation but a natural

result when he is extremely pleased and happy with the

disciple. If that happens, the disciple is transformed

spontaneously. For the disciple of a Uttama Guru to be

good, all his vasanas should be destroyed.

 

This is a silent internal transformation and is done

gradually within and not through force. This may not

even be noticed by the disciple himself.

 

If the disciple is truly attached to the Uttama Guru,

this internal transformation will happen slowly but

surely.
