Humble pranams at the Lotus Feet of Bhagavan.

 

Dear Saibandhus,

 

          Aspirant's TRUST in GOD or GURU should be strong and permanent. If a foundation is strong then only multi storied buildings can be built over it. If the foundation is shaky, the building standing on it will collapse. Similarly if the  true aspirant's Trust is shaky some of the spiritual benefits accrued will be lost and further progress will be drastically affected. 

If an aspirant has kept faith in his human Guru, whatever may happen to his/her Guru, the aspirant should not at all be bothered. It is the TRUST that the aspirant keeps on his/her  Guru that counts, not the guru's charisma. If the Guru's charisma is great ,but the aspirant's faith is less OR if the Gurus charisma is less,but the aspirant's Trust is abundant, it directly affects the progress of aspirant. In the former case aspirant will not gain much and in the later case the aspirant gains tremendously.Therefore, only TRUST is the yardstick to measure aspirant's spirituality. In fact the aspirant should keep Trust not on his Guru's body / form, but in the Almighty God's presence in the Guru which is the Real GURU for the aspirant. If the Guru's body dies, the Real Guru doesn't die; if some blame comes to the guru's body, nothing affects the Real Guru. Therefore, absolutely nothing bad happens to the aspirant's Real Guru and when this is the case the aspirant is safe. The Guru's body is only a sign board ---the board may be shining or may be dirty and faded-- but the aspirant should travel forward as per the direction shown on the sign board and he/she need not lament standing underneath if the sign board is dirty. Why should he/she? If he laments and forgets his/her long and arduous journey ahead, only he/she will be the looser. The aspirant should continue his/her spiritual journey keeping his/her tremendous faith in the God inside his/her Guru. After all one fine day the aspirant will have to move from the body consciousness of his/her Guru or SADGURU towards the BRAHMAM CONSCIOUSNESS. Any moment the aspirant should be ready to embrace such God given opportunity. 

 

Sai Ram.
