Glory of Sadguru - Last Part-by Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Another fine example is Namdev for whom Lord Panduranga was easily available as

a friend. This Namdev, who enjoyed the company of Lord Panduranga day in and day

out, since his childhood, was called‘unbaked clay’ by Gora Kumbha (a potter

saint). Angered by this insult, Namdev approached Lord Panduranga who endorsed

the view! The latter then explained, “You do not have a Guru to correct you

hence you are unbaked clay. It is only a Guru who can annihilate your ego and

help you find your real Self†and directed him to a Guru living in the nearby

forest. Namdev sought refuge in this Guru who destroyed his ‘Ego’. With the

death of the ‘Ego’ Namdev realized that everything was verily Brahman; that

he himself was not apart from God. Everything was in God and God was in

everything as the ‘antaratma’.

 

Sabari known for her Guru Bhakti was born in a family of hunters. She lived in a

forest killing animals and birds for food. Such a Sabari attained liberation

through the grace of her Guru Mandanga Maharishi who blessed her with the

darshan of Lord Rama! Bhagavan Himself comes to her door in search of her and

accepts her hospitality. Speaking to Lord Rama on the glory of her Guru she

leaves her mortal body to join her Guru, with Lord Rama as the witness. It is

very clearly shown here that this old lady from a hunter’s family attained

liberation through the Grace of the Guru, with Bhagavan only as the witness to

the event! Such is the glory of the Guru!

 

The working of Guru’s Grace is like the oil in a lamp. The wick, which is lit

without oil in the lamp is quickly burnt out and the light, too, dies out. But

if oil is poured into the lamp it not only protects the wick from burning out

but also helps the lamp burn continuously. Likewise, one who does not enjoy the

Grace of the Guru suffers from his ‘prarabda’ (the effect of his past merits

and demerits). He is like the wick in a lamp bereft of oil. ‘Prarabda’

shudders at the prospect of even approaching a ‘jiva’ who enjoys the Grace

of the Guru.

 

The Sadguru can in a snapping of fingers’ time bestow liberation on the

disciple! There once lived a King by name Katvanga . He desired liberation and

sought the Vedic Brahmins to help him. But the learned could not help him. It

was then that a great Mahatma visited the Kingdom who bestowed the King with

liberation within the snapping of fingers’ time!

 

The glory of the Sadguru is beyond verbal description. It is to be

experienced!â€

 

“SADGURU MAHARÃJ KI!†“JAI!â€

 

GOPIKA JIVANA SMARANAM... GOVINDA! GOVINDA! "
