Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 JAYA DEVA JAYADEVA JAYA SHREE GURUDATTA! Dear Members, I am giving the information given by one Gurubhaktha about the Gurubhakthi and guruseva. Guru bhakti and Guru Seva Guru bhakti and Guru seva are important factors in spiritual life. Guru bhakti is devotion to the Guru. It helps to free the disciple from earthly attachments to other worldly things and beings. Guru seva or service of the Guru when properly done is effective in removing selfishness, laziness and cravings for comfort in spiritual sadhakas. True guru bhakti is in obeying and following the upadesh and instructions of your Guru. Real guru seva is to live your life and conduct yourself in such a manner that your life and personal vyavahara bring a good name to the Guru. It raises the Guru's reputation to higher heights and makes your Guru enshrined forever in the memory of all men. The best guru dakshina that can be offered to any Guru is a life lived in accordance with the Guru's teachings. A tree is known by its fruits. A flower is known through its fragrance. A country is known by its citizens. A father is known by the nature and behavior of his son. A teacher is known by his students. This is the popular belief in human society. Hence, the devotees and disciples of any holy person must try their utmost best to make themselves the embodiment of that holy person's teachings and reflect guru upadesha in their own day-to-day life. subrahmanyam.bharathula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
