Blessed are the ones who have a Guru in their lives(like us,though it is a different thing we know that He is GOD).It is so because when we complain and crib about the path that we are walking on called "LIFE",when we squeak about those tiny little botherations and complain Him you are never there with me in my misery.It is then when He asks you to look back on the sands of time and points out to one pair of footstep and says those are my footsteps and i have lifted you up in my arms so that your turmoils be less...It is then when we get "enlightened" that he is there with us 24*7
""गुरुर ब्रह्म गुरुर विष्णु गुरुर देवो महेश्वर
गुरुर साक्षात् परम ब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरुवे नमः ""
A beautiful shloka meaning a Guru has the sublime blend of this three energies due to which the universe exists today.Brahma-the creator,Vishnu-the moderator,Maheshwara-the transformer.A Guru is a person who has a unique blend of the extremes.He is that epitome of knowledge but at the same time humor..the best blend of wisdom and chivalry..
""अखान्दमंदालाकाराम, व्याप्तं एन चराचरम
तत्पदं दर्शितं एन तस्मै श्री गुरुवे नमः ""
A Guru is omnipresent..he is present everywhere.he is present in us mortals and the immortals.He is there in time and timelessness..His prescence is felt in the soul and even outside..he is not present only in this world bt also in the other worlds..As Dinesh Bhaiya says become aware of the invisible divine "GURUSHAKTI"The entire World lies in the GURU'S feet...
The word Guru begins with a "G" and ends with a "U".I feel that is so because He is someone who "G"ives everything He can to "U".He does this because "U" "R" the ones who matter to Him.I feel this is why "GURU" it is spelt the way it is.The relationship between a mother and her child is the purest.It is so because there are no expectations in it.Similarly, and i feel even better it is with a Disciple and His Master, His Guru.The disciple seeks from His Master without any expectation.When he arrives to Him he stops seeking but now the things start blossoming as it is rightly said.His qualities ,his abilities blossom.He grows as a human.He matures.He understands.Such an indispensible part is played by the GURU in our lives...
And of course a hearty bow to our sweetest teachers Virat Bhaiya and Vasudha Di who have always been there with us and helped us grow on this path.They too are our Gurus....A sweet little guru story in the next post...till then be grateful for walking on this beautiful path and remember
"BLESSED ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE A GURU IN THEIR LIVES......."
