How can I describe his love to Me?

[Guest guest]

˜For 12 years I waited on my Guru who is peerless and loving. How can I describe

his love to Me? When he was in Dyanastha that is love trance I sat and gazed at

him. We were both filled with bliss. I cared not to turn my eye upon anything

else. Night and day I poured upon his face with an ardor of love that banished

hunger and thirst. The Gurus absence for a second made me restless. I meditated

on nothing but the Guru, and had no goal, or object, other than the Guru.

Unceasingly fixed upon him was my mind. Wonderful indeed, the art of my Guru! I

wanted nothing but the Guru and he wanted nothing but this intense love from me.

Apparently inactive, he never neglected me, but always protected me by his

glance. That Guru never blew any mantra into my ear. By his grace, I attained my

present state. By making the Guru the sole object of ones thoughts and aims one

attains Paramartha, the Supreme Goal. This is the only truth the Guru taught me.

 

The four sadhanas and Six sastras are not necessary. Trusting in the Guru fully,

is enough.

 

The above is a true narration of the actual facts by Baba, the soul of truth. It

is by learning these facts that one can understand and appreciate texts like

Narada's Bhakti Sutras, for example.

 

Having which, Bhakti or Love one relinquishes all desire, grief, hostility

indulgence in worldly pleasures, and all efforts at selfish advancement.

 

Knowing which, one becomes ecstatic, quiet, and happy in oneself

 

One renounces all worldly concerns and even Vedic rites.

 

Concentration on love, apathy towards everything against it.

 

Giving up all other supports than love, that is, having no other sadhana.

 

Narada says Love surrenders all actions to God and feels extreme restlessness in

being without Him.

 

God and his devotee are the same.
