Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Gurus…we often meet!Some of us, the less en-‘lightened’ human beings, were innately impelled or shall I say propelled to embark upon the uphill trek to find jyotish. ‘Wide eyed (chak-shooed)’, one wanders (or wonders?) how to get to the never-to-be-seen jyot(ish). Woods are lov(n)ely, dark and deep… one feels, as one oscillates between depressing loneliness to welcome solitude. Yet, the lure of light keeps the will on board, and surprisingly, one becomes more resilient as age withers away, not giving up till the senses are fatally impaired, and life goes for a re-haul. As I discovered, a little too soon may be (not totally withered yet!), finally there may not be any jyoti overhanging the cliff top. Do I sound pessimistic! Not really! Who minds when the woods are lovely, dark and deep and there are plenty of fireflies enroute! Many a times I have wondered in amazement at their pointed illumination and the cast of far-reaching shadows. Something to revel in! At times I even marvelled whether I stumbled upon the jugnu or was it the other way round. Or is it the propeller who willed it thus! Showing the marquee! As I trek upwards (both literally and metaphorically), I am delighted to notice how each little light has been aligned to make the beautiful pattern of life. When and how the light had shown or appeared makes much sense now. And sometimes I have also been wonderstruck at the ‘attunement’ of the light to what I sought. How did it know the promises I had to keep? The trek continues with greater fervour, as the little lights unfold the secret of making ‘sense from no-sense’, which has been the greatest gift from the by-lanes of astrology. When the distance between wakefulness to sleep can be covered in a moment, astro-quest has given a new meaning to this moment. I pay my sincere gratitude and gratefulness to these lights in my life, inner and outer!RegardsNeelam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dear All, Nice thoughts, wonderfully put !!! Your tributes to the Guru was moving. Here is my heartfelt tribute to my Great Guru, a song he has sung in his own words. A Guru I have never met in the physical (and never will), yet has become the guiding light helping me through the darkest days of my life: " I have made THEE, Pole Star of My Life, Though my Sea is Dark, and my Stars are Gone, Still I see THE PATH, through THY MERCY ".

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You are welcome Neelam Ji. Especially with a little jyotish knowledge when one knows some storm clouds are gathering in the future and when one is forced to deal with chronic problems affecting the most precious people in our lives, it is nice to also know that after this journey is over, some one is waiting with open arms to fulfil the promise of an Eternal Guru-Sishya relationship.
