GURU BHAKTHI

Dear Balarishi,

Guru bhakthi is considered to be a very important aspect for a seeker. Can you elaborate on this ?

 

In any given point of time many people would have thought you certain things and would have guided you on certain issues. They are your teachers or guides and they deserve your respects and regards every time. But a Guru is someone above all these. The very word GURU means the one who eradicates ignorance and provides the light of knowledge. Inwardly you have so many search and questions. Once you meet your Guru, you will realize that your Guru is the one who is going to answer all your questions and will be guiding you in the path you are supposed to walk.   

 

 

The blessings of a Guru is so auspicious that it can relieve you from so many hurdles in life. This can be realized by seeing the difference between the lives of those who have a Guru and those who don't have a Guru. The life of those without a Guru will be dependent on so many aspects. For instance they will need the guidance of astrology. They will be totally controlled by karmic structure. It is not so with those who have a Guru. The grace of the Guru will help you out from above said entanglements. Similarly, ego level is the one which isolates you from your Guru. In the presence of your Guru you will see your ego level dropping and you will be comfortable with it. It is the place where you willfully let go your ego and in turn enjoy tremendous clarity and peace.

When you become an instrument for your Guru`s thoughts and mission you can know that you have been showered with the anugraha of your Guru. The shraddha and commitment you have in taking them further will make you a complete instrument in your Guru`s hand. The tremendous transformation which descends in your inner level is the greatest bliss you get through Guru bhakthi.
