Impartment of Mystic Teaching.

 

Mystic significance of the holy scriptures, and esoteric meaning of the ancient doctrines cannot be understood by reading books, or hearing scholarly lectures. Those blessed pupils who serve and live under the spiritual teacher, for life-long time with great reverence and devotion can understand and realise the Upanishads’ statements such as “Thou art That,” “I am Brahman,” “All indeed is Brahman,” etc.  Grace of the Guru gives the inner vision (of Atman).

Satguru communicates the secret knowledge of the Upanishads to his trusted disciples only after repeated entreaty and severe testing. According to the Upanishadic tradition the secret knowledge of Brahman may be imparted by a preceptor to his worthy son or to a trusted Sishya but not to another, whoever he may be, even if the latter should give him the whole earth surrounded by the water and filled with the treasures. After doing prostration to the blessed Guru, disciple should not turn his back to him and go away.  Even a child can be taught Vedanta provided the teacher knows very well what Vedanta truly means and how can it be applied to the different stages of life.

“Arthaturanam na Guror na bandhum.” That means a person who hankers after wealth, will not mind even to swindle Guru’s property.  Do not covet the wealth of the Guru.The blessed Guru who is a liberated one is ever peaceful and blissful. He has an equal vision and balanced mind. He is equal in honour and dishonour, censure and praise, pleasure and pain. He is free from egoism, pride, anger, lust and greed. He has no likes and dislikes, he has no attachment to anything. He is full of wisdom; he is childlike, he clears the doubts of the disciple merely by his presence or through his gracious look.To serve the poor and the sick, to serve the Guru and parents, to do charitable and noble acts, to possess knowledge of the Self by the grace of the Guru, is indeed a supreme blessing.  There is nothing so purifying as personal service of Guru.

Gurukripa is a trustworthy companion along the weary path to Moksha.

 

 

Greatness Of Guru.

Salutations, adorations, prostrations to Guru,
Guru is Brahma, Guru is Siva, Guru is Vishnu,
Guru is father, Guru is mother, Guru is real friend.
Serve him with all Bhava, wet with Bhakti.
He will teach you Brahma Vidya, show the divine path.
Service of Guru is a great purifier.

Crores of prostrations unto the Lotus-Feet of the Satguru who is dispeller of ignorance and the bestower of wisdom.
Miss not an opportunity to have Satsanga of Mahatmas, saints and Guru.Do not act according to the dictates of your lower mind. Act according to the words of your Guru,Mere remembrance of high souls, Guru, destroys atheistic tendencies of materialistic people, inspires and goads them to strive for the final emancipation. What to say of the glory of Guru Seva!

Just as a man who runs after two rabbits will not catch either of them, so also a disciple who runs after two Gurus will not get success in his spiritual path,The beginning of discipleship is killing of egoism.The key to discipleship is Brahmacharya and service to Guru.The garb of discipleship is devotion to Guru.
The mark of discipleship is dedication of life to the Lotus-Feet of Guru. The royal road to discipleship is regular meditation on the form of Gurudev.

The foundation of discipleship is utter obedience to Guru Maharaj. Mumukshutva is burning longing for, to meet, the Guru and serving him. Worship of Gods, the twice-born, the spiritual teachers and the wise, purity, straightforwardness, celibacy and non-injury are called the austerity of the body.

Prostrations to Brahmins, holy preceptors and the wise, celibacy, non-injury, constitute physical Tapas.
Service of parents and preceptor, the poor and sick, is also bodily austerity.
