Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Stealing the Infinite from the Guru "If you treat a Guru as a mere man, your sadhana will be a failure perpetually. Faith in the Guru is specially needed for God realization. The Guru who has himself realized his soul as identical with Para Brahman (a truth expressed as "Main Allah Hum" by Baba) works at the soul of his disciple (sishya), and after seeing that it is duly prepared, and at the right moment, utter a word or uses a gesture or makes other effort, and the effect is instantaneous. The sishya is drawn into the same state of Satchitananda resulting from the experience of Jiva-Brahma Aikya. This is done in one minute or half a minute, as the Guru Gita says - 'Nimishena Nimishardhena'. That is, "In a moment or half a moment the Guru and his disciple are in that realized state as a result of the Guru's action and sishya's faith. This involves, no doubt, a previous preparation under the Guru's care of the sishya's soul for a very long time. But the final effect takes no time. It is instantaneous". (From "Life of Saibaba" Part I, by Shri Narasimhaswami ji, Founder, All India Sai Samaj) sairam sairam sairam We have that faith in You SWAMI Lead us all to Thy kindly Light !! rukmani Why delete messages?
