Jai Guru Datta

Pranaams to Sadguru Sri Swamiji.

 

I have an interesting fellow devotee here,who does not take nicely to

views,and views on views, and does not want to hear others,and the normal

customs in India.

This fellow Datta family member forces to close the discussion AFTER

expressing his/her views,without giving the others to express their views.

 

Therefore i have to,(Ok,i shall use I again) I have to address the group.

 

This place is meant for discussion.When I said let us discuss on useful

things,it means discussion on Swamiji related matters.When we discuss,when we

analyse in groups,expressing ourselves freely,it is good for all of us.

I can say boldly that,I am not doing enough meditation,I am not singing enough

Bhajans.Certainly I am not attaining the "Onenes" with Him,when I pray.Even if I

do I wont be discussing "it" this Oneness with Him.

What I am doing is, only thinking aloud.I wish to be heard.Yes.I wish to be

heard.So that my analying myself and my journey towards Swamiji is all the way

perfected.If, and if at all,my experiences count,and a fellow datta devotee

finds a word in a thought useful,in his own journey,That is Guruseva to me.

 

Ok.

 

We are all equals in His views.He treats each one of us differently,giving

different or sometimes same medicine for the each and individual

patient.Patients we all are.We are all suffering from this disease,that is

samskaaraa.In different stages,but if we cross this ocean and become One with

Him,we wont be discussing anything here,for we wont be here at all.

 

Singing bhajans all the time is not possible.Listening to them all the time is

also a bit difficult for me.This group is meant for discussing and sharing our

experiences,sharing our views,thinking aloud,defenitley wishing to be heard ( so

that one can be corrected,if need be,or followed correctly)

 

My English may not be "understandable" to some fellow devotees, especially

some non English mothertongued (Non Native speakers of that language)but what I

am doing here is,pouring out whatever comes to mind.Though I can speak in some

of the Indian languages,I can't type them all here If people do not understand I

request them to ask me once again,and not jump t conclusion that I am an

egoistic guy and very rude.(Actually I am 1 :-)) ,Jai Guru Datta) But I have

started work on my bad natural tendencies, these bad qualities of

mine.Personally I would not make any critisism on fellow devotees,for not all of

us can take critisism.But I am permitted (like all others here) to express

freely my views and think aloud and wishing to be heard.(well, I am heard

anyway,and I dont want to be heard by some people who can not take to peer

pressure) But how can I help? we are all one group.One group.

 

Last night I have received a message from my Guru (please note that,we have

lot of Gurus and only one Sadguru.And ofcourse if the devotee who misses the

Oneness in his prayers,nowand then cares,I can offer pranaams to anyone,whom I

consider as my Guru.Offering Pranaams to elders and Guru like people,is a very

respectable practice in India.I offer my Pranaams to this devotee too,if I could

learn a few things from him/her and guided by him/her,in a way I like.In the way

Swamiji teaches.

 

The email was signed off sgd and with underlines.

The email was very short and rather telegraphic.But I could understand it

perfectly.How? Because I normally listen to the thought waves.This Guru,is so

immersed in Sadguru Seva,he hardly finds time to sleep,I always wonder when he

sleeps,and whether he sleeps at all,for he replies even at midnight sometimes.If

he signs off jgd,and finds time for me,(me,this poor beggar)to underline the

jgd...well what is the urgency?He thinks that I will understand,and otherwise he

is busy in..BUSY IN Swamiji's seva.Swamiji's seva.Not on mundane worldly

activities.His life is with Swamij in total.He is that blessed.In fact he would

only smile,his all knowing smile,rather boyish smile,if he ever reads this.He is

my Guru not only because he helps me in my path to Swamiji,he is respected by me

because what he is.And what he is going to be.

 

In our old sacred texts,which my father made me study,creating interest in

them at a very early age,I was so interested in a saint,who says and pleads to

God, that he wants to be the servant of servants of God.And claims he is.

 

I see my masters in all those nearer to Him, my Lord, Swamiji,and He is

sadguru.The one and only sadguru to me.Though I long for that "Oneness",I have

realized that,my body and soul are not fit enough.There maybe some individuals

in our datta family,who might have reached that stage.Others claim only total

peacefulness,when doing prayers,meditation and all. I am preparing myself and I

don't know how long it takes.Maybe this birth,next birth,next year,next minute?

But started I have,and it is upto Him to decide.

 

I would like to clear some doubts.Since I was mentioned directly and

misunderstood,I have to explain.

1.When I say Me,that means , I was referring to the me that is with

Swamiji,when I say me that is me alone.When I say He,that is Him.I tried to put

down the caps in I,first person singular,but since that is unusual and becomes a

difficulty for others to follow(" hear") I revert back to my old ways.

 

I hope I am "heard: right.
