Guru to Light wishing all the Light of Guru

[Guest guest]

In Amma's Feet offering some quotes from " For My Children " selected

teachings of Mata Amritandamayi .

 

" Guru and God are there within everyone . But in the beginning, an

external Guru is necessary. After a certain stage is reached, one can

grasp the essential principles from every object and thereby progress.

Until a boy becomes aware of his goal, he studies his lessons out of

fear of his parents and teachers. Once he becomes conscious of his

goal, he studies his own accord, foregoing sleep and enjoyments like

going to cinema. The fear and reverence towards his parents which he

had until then was not a weakness. Children, when the awareness of the

Goal dawns, the Guru aspect within also awakens. " page 24

 

" Even though one may come in contact with a Guru, he will be

accepted as a disciple only if he is fit. Without Guru's grace, one

cannot know the Guru. One who is really in search of the Truth will

have humility and simplicity. The Guru's grace will be showered only

on such a person.

A person full of ego cannot have access to the Guru. page 24

 

" A disciple may have a possessive attitude towards his Guru. This

will not get destroyed easily. The disciple may desire to have

continual demonstration of his Guru's love. Some disciples may abuse

and leave the Guru when they feel they are not getting it. If one

wants the love of the Guru, one must serve selflessly. " page 23
