How does one take out time for the Guru Path under the constraint of

time in ordinary life?

 

Living an ordinary life has been difficult in every age, not in the

present time only. Leading an ordinary life means going along the

social and family life. It is easy for those who have left home and

taken to ascetic way of life, but it is a greater problem to follow

this path while living in physical world looking after the family

and social commitments. We are searching for `Guru Path' to find a

solution to this problem only. This becomes easy and there is not

much difficulty in it. Only will power and divine inspiration is

required.

 

In the first stage nobody can take to `Guru Path' completely. It

requires a number of years or times for preparation. If man goes in

search of a Guru, reading books on this subject, reading the life

stories of Gurus, keeping purity in one's conduct etc., gradually

the thoughts of Sadguru will grow in his inner self. Under this

condition he will find a Guru somewhere. More correctly he will draw

the attention of the Guru who has the divine capacity to see through

merits and demerits of everyone and the thought process of all his

devotees. It is said that the disciple cannot find a Guru, but the

Perfect Master finds out His disciple certainly. As Baba said, I

draw my devotees from thousands of miles. In life full of

difficulties it is a true endeavor to develop the qualities of

compassion, forgiveness and service. Selfless service is the goal of

Guru. It may be concluded that initially one should begin with

obeying the Guru for smaller duties given to him, and gradually one

should move ahead for bigger jobs. While undergoing life's struggle

whatever qualities one develops those remain permanently with him

and become a part of his soul. These qualities are carried to the

next life. In the next life also he will be getting the help of a

Guru and evolve further.
