To Brian on the Guru, the Buttons, and the Medicine

[Guest guest]

I realized today that all that I wrote can be summarized in one

sentence. Swamiji has said this but until I did not truly know what he

meant.

 

"Everyone is Guru, but very few are good devotees."

 

We must strive to be good and proper devotees by recognizing truth, such

as you have exemplified here.

 

Ironically, when we realize what's going on with a button press, we see

the other person, the person willing to accept the karma for pressing

our buttons, not as a jerk or a louse but as a most excelent Guru,

someone who wants to teach us about ourselves. Someone willing to risk a

little karma to teach us non-reaction, someone willing to test our

consciousness.

 

Once that realization hits in the moment, we immediately bow down to the

Guru within our hearts and the situation will be defused.

 

And there will be no karma for us.

 

Thank you.
