!!! Om Guruve Namah !!!

[Guest guest]

To,

Respected Guruji,

 

The word Guru in Sanskrit is

not a mere teacher of an objective subject.

He gives the real subjective knowledge about oneself.

Out of the letters in the word " Guru " ,

the letter ' Gu ' stands for darkness or ignorance;

and the letter ' Ru ' stands for

the one who removes it or dispells it.

The Guru is the one who removes

the ignorance of a seeker about his own true nature

and gives him Jnanam or ' " Knowledge "

with which he realises his identity

with the Soul or the Athman.

We are all ignorant of our real nature;

we do not know from where we came to this world,

where we are finally going after this life,

what is the purpose of our life

and whether we are fulfilling it here.

Our knowledge about ourselves is covered

by a thick layer of Ajnanam - ignorance

which impairs our true vision of ourselves.

Thus the Guru is more than a God,

the one who shows the God and without him,

we do not fulfil the purpose of life.

Natuarally, a seeker is all praise

of the Guru who gives a meaning to life.

 

By praising the Guru,

the student is not obliging or

doing any service to the Guru,

but is only trying to imbibe the

Knowledge given by the Guru.

Without the medium of the teacher,

the student would always remain ignorant and blind.

The Guru thus gives a new dimension

and opens up a new bright horizon for the student.

 

Thanks for finding me as I've read when the pupil is ready Guru

appears.I wish your blessings be with me always.

 

Warm Regards,

Anjali
