Guru God

[Guest guest]

AUM SAI RAM!

 

Bhagawan Baba says:

"Guru Pournima is sacred for many reasons;this day ,the seeker who

suffers from identification with the false objective world is initiated into

the reality of the 'unseen motivator' within him;this day,those who have no

urge to tread the spiritual path are inspireddd to seek that that path will

confer;this day,aspirants are helped to achieve the consciousness of the

One,which is known by many Names and through many Forms,in various lanuages

and lands.

With the rise of the Sun,the world is bathed in light and heat.So too,with

the oncoming of Guru Pournima,the human heart is bathed in peace and

security.

Guru Pournima is not just one day in the year,marked out in the calendar.It

is all days when the mind of man(whose presiding deity is the Moon) becomes

full of pleasant coolness,fully illumined with the light from the

Sun(intelligence,discrimination).

When acts are done as offerings to God,one will not be elated at success

or disheartened by failure,for He prompts,He helps,He grants joy or grief as

He wills,as He cares.The doer will have no attachment to the fruit of the

deed;so, he will not be bound to its consequences;it will leave no trace on

his personality,which will shape him beyond death.

Gu means darkness and ru means light.Guru scatters darkness through

light;he imparts wisdom which roots out ignorance.Render unto him as much

homage as he deserves.But not more.

You repeat the sloka:

Guru Brahma gurur Vishnu,

Gurur devo Maheshwara

Gurusaaksath Parabrahma

Thasmai Shree Guruve namah

which is usually interpreted as indicating that the Guru is Brahma,Vishnu

and Mheshwara and that he is the visible Parabrahma.But it is capable of a

nobler interpretation:

Brahma is the Guru;

Vishnu is the Guru;

Maheshwara is the Guru,

Parabrahma is the Guru!

Pray to the God within you Pray that the Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara

Parabrahma Principle reveals Itself.Accept that as the Guru and you will be

illumined."
