Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Many people celebrate the day (Guru Poornima) by garlanding the Guru and placing costly offerings before him. But the true Guru is not a human preceptor. It is the Cosmos itself, Nature, Creation, the World around us. Life must have an ideal before it. It must proceed towards a goal; it must be a constant march. Life has as its sole purpose the divinizing of man, the transformation of the "man" we profess to be into the God we really are. Gu in the word Guru, indicates the quality of gunatheeta, that is, unaffected by attributes and attitudes, not associated with any one particular characteristic. And Ru means rupa-rahitha, that is, not limited to any form, pervasive in all forms. In this context, the Universe and all its components are to be looked upon as one's preceptors and lessons learned form each. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XV, P. 83.
