Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 MOTHER, THE FIRST GURU: The Master talked to suit time, place and circumstance. He said the right thing at the right time. Addressing the staff and students of the Central Hindu Girls' School, Madras, he began with charming innocence. " What shall I talk to you about? You are my first Guru. Everything man has learnt from you. The child asks his mother, 'Mother, what is this? Ma, what is that?' and learns everything. You are the Guru of Gurus. " Slowly he picked up sequence and speed and, before he ended his speech, made the exhortation, " Let patience be your necklace. Let love be your apparel. Don't forget that the Atma is the beauty of beauties. There is no need for external beautification at all. How can you beautify beauty itself? Wear the divine virtues as ornaments. Self-restraint, modesty, simplicity, patience, generosity--these are your real ornaments. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
