Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Hi Diego, pranams In a way, i am glad that i am not him. I do not want to suffer his karma. He may be enjoying now the fruits of his guru's efforts but eventually he has to pay for his actions, either today or tomorrow. He was or was not more advanced spiritually but a good thing he did. He disclosed to many the truth about Krishna. In this age of Kali Yuga there is a lot of misinformation due to materialistic views and Krishna is out of the picture. When the truth comes into our lives, does not matter about the source, He is there in front of us, and we should not forget that. I have heard that the swan eats milk from the water. He has the talent to eat from the water. We should be like that, we should learn to gain from what is lost. Guru, sastra and sadhu should go together. Guru is the person that gives a higher consciousnes based on sastra. Sastra is the revealed scripture about God and sadhu are all sincere students of sastra and under the direction of guru. When guru fails, we still have sastra and sadhu, When sastra is distorted or corrupted, we still have sadhu for company and inspiration. When we dont have either of the 3, we should focus on our inner self and pray that the Lord will send us the truth. When guru dies or "falls" it is a terrible calamity. It is a great test to the sadhu. Sadhu is alone and he/she has to find the path again, what to do. They may be many voices telling to do this or to do that, but sadhu knows better. In time, after some suffering and austerities, inspiration will come and a better path will be seen in front of us. We are never alone, the whole parampara is protecting us, waiting to help us and in time we will get what we need to advance in our spiritual path. I never had the experience of a fallen guru but i have had other bitter ones. This brings to my mind a so call vedic astrologer that has a peculiar way to asses the psicology of an individual. According to him, if a person has suffered, it means that the person needs a psyquiatrist and that he/she should not be trusted. It seems to me that he has never suffered yet in his life...lucky one. As an astrologer, i did one day the chart of a lady that her guru fell. She told me that somehow she was put under pressure to get another guru. She did not want another guru but she was under spiritual pain and someone took advantage of her situation and she felt compelled to accept another one. Her 2nd guru fell as well in time and she was really desvastated. How, why her? I told her that my knowledge was limited and that she should get her Nadi horoscope to get some answers. Eventually, she went to India with her new husband and found her Nadi chart. Her nadi chart told her the present cause of her double frustration and the cause was in some actions of her done in a previous life. The Nadi told her that after this she was going to be more free in her spiritual path She felt better after that explanation but somehow i have lost her address and i do not know about her present situation. I think that she is ok. The last time that i saw her was in 1983 before going to her natal country to start a new life. This is not new. I have heard about similar incidents in other institutions. To name one, this so call modern society. Accidents happen everywhere and we have to deal with them accordingly. Well Piero, I hope that this email helps. And do not forget that the Lord wants you. arrivederci Natabara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
