Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Sgd Dear Karen, actually Guru Gita says: "All the Great souls should be respected and you should also serve them, if need be. But they should not be treated as your Guru. Your Sadhana (practice) is yours. What your Guru teaches you is the path of practice for you. The preachings of others may be acceptable to you if they are in line with the path suggested by your Guru. For that matter, every minutest particle in Nature is Guru for the Sadhak (practicant.) According to Datta Puran, an Avadhut (self-made god-man)has 24 Gurus. If their preachings are not congenial to your path, you should know it to be a different path and ignore it. Not only that. It is the Guru who decides and initiates His disciples into different paths which suit them. So the line or the course of practice suggested by the Guru should be implicitly followed. Whenever you come across great people, you should think that your Guru has come in that form and serve them, but they should not be taken for your Guru."(Sri Guru Gita_(Dattapeetham Publication)) Sgd, Win.
