My most heartfelt Adorations to your
blessed, divine feet!
You are nothing, if not direct
manifestations of the omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient
Divinity.
There is no one that is to be called as
Guru unless he is rooted permanently in the experience of
the infinite Truth. No one can be called a Guru unless he is
rooted in the Consciousness of the absolute divine Joy,
Peace, Perfection, Beauty, Freedom and infinite Truth.
Be
such a Guru. This is the destiny of your life. This is the
glory of your human existence here on earth. Arrive at this
stage! The quintessence of the Holy Scriptures consists in
the simple fact: "I die and God lives in me." There
is no dying! The "I" disappears into the perfections of the
infinite wondrous divine Consciousness. The human mind and
heart and soul and consciousness are displaced by the
Consciousness of the divine Being. It is no more the human
individual that is seeing through the eyes of the person
called Guru, but the Divine Itself. Such a person is
sinless, he is uplifted above all limitations of human
existence, perfectly established in the poise of the
transcendent Reality. His mind is the Wisdom of God. His
heart is the Love of God at operation. He is in tune with
the whole creation. His speech is the speech of the Divine.
His breath is the breath of the Divine. He has no existence
apart from the Heart and Centre of the Divine.
He is a Devotee, he is a God-Lover, who
is constantly established in the realization of the
all-wondrous Being that God is. In his life unconditioned
Happiness, unconditioned Peace, unconditioned Freedom are
operative. There is nothing in this universe that could
fulfill his existence, for his existence is united with the
Perfections of the divine Being. Glory to such a person!
This person's state and condition is the highest
evolutionary status to which you have to rise.
It is a shame to die. That means, it is
a shame to experience a phenomenon called death. There is no
such thing as death for one, who is established in the
Consciousness of God, the Eternal, the Immortal. He is
always all-conscious, supra-conscious. He is established in
Consciousness. He does not sleep. He is ever awake, ever
joyous. He is face to face with the infinite wonders of God.
Blessed is the life of such a person. Such a person can lead
mankind towards Truth and God-experience. It is such a
person that becomes the vessel for the revelations and
intuitions and illuminations, embodied in the greatest
scriptures of the world.
Blessed
are those, that meet such persons. Blessed is the earth,
which bears the presence of such persons. They are our best
teachers. They condition our existence to the beatitudes of
the divine nature and character. All life becomes a divine
ecstasy in their presence. All life discloses in such
presence its real face, the face of the divine Truth. All
life assumes an infinite purpose and bears an infinite joy
in the presence of such persons, such Gurus.
Any Guru, who falls short in the
description hereon presented, does not deserve the name
Guru. Humanity has to be critical, has to exercise the power
of reason and judgement at every step of life, but a
judgement, that is guided by Wisdom, Love, Devotion, Grace
of God. God is pulsating everywhere within us, around us,
above us, below us; everywhere He is pulsating with all the
perfections of his Being.
We are sorrowless Beings. Problems of
existence caused by the space-time universe and the
circumstances of the human society rise and disappear like
clouds leaving the sky unaffected. May there be a million
clouds, but nothing touches the space, contaminates the
space. Space is not air to be contaminated. Space is
untouchable, it cannot be defiled. It is the subtlest
principle open to our senses' experience. Subtler than the
space is the Divine and resident in the space is the Divine.
The eyes of the Divine are everywhere. The protecting hand
of the Divine is upon your blessed heads. You are blessed.
Adorations to you. Realize spiritual greatness! Do not come
down! Do not descend from highest standards of existence.
Material goods do not make high standards of life. It is the
imperishable treasures of the heart, it is the endless and
inexhaustible treasures of the luminous and all-enlightened
Intelligence within us, it is these, that raise the standard
of our existence.
Look
at yourself always in terms of the Infinite. See with the
eyes of God! See with the eyes of Wisdom! Work with Love! Be
ensouled by Love! Even as you are possessed by anger, be
possessed by Love. Be moved by Love, impelled by Love. Be
impelled by Devotion. It is the finest emotion known to the
human nature. It is the liberating emotion. It is the
uplifting emotion. It is the messenger that leads us to
God-experience. Devotion is a mighty power. Develop
devotion. Govern your daily existence by the Wisdom of God.
Talk of the Infinite. Thus purify the tongue by talking of
God. Purify the ear by hearing about the glories and the
nature of God. Make the place, where you dwell, a heaven on
earth, a powerful heaven, a heaven, where the living God is
present, where God is supremely pleased in you, where God
loves to dwell with you. God dwells with those, who love Him
most.
Do not come down from your infinite
strength, my dear friend. You have everything necessary here
and now. You live, move and have your Being in God. You are
rooted in the Divine, You must grow conscious of this
Reality. You have no real reason, no real intelligence, no
real vision, until you recognize this Truth, that you are
inseparable from the all-functioning, operative presence of
the infinite God.
Gurus are mirrors to your inner
spiritual greatness. Their presence uplifts you, energizes
you, elevates you, brings you closer to a close
accessibility to the presence of the all-loving Divinity. My
adorations and prostration to you.
Guru
is one, who does not see a difference between himself and
all other Beings. A man, who is governed by sensorial
differences is no light, is no guide, is no wise man, is not
a good contact for our daily life. He is no inspiration. He
has to dwell in the nature of God and express it in life, in
inner experience. He must behold God, whether he opens his
eyes or closes his eyes, whether he is here or there. No
matter where he is, he is directly in the Heart of God.
There are all heavenly Beings present, there God dwells.
This is the assurance of God Himself! This is the experience
of the real Gurus, Teachers and Spiritual Masters and Saints
and Sages and Mystics and Yogis and Mahatmas.
May the Grace of God flow through your
blessed hearts! May the Grace and Beauty and Sweetness and
Love and Wisdom and Life of God throb in your veins!
God is the only Mother of mothers, the
real Mother and the Mother of all mothers. He is the
Sweetness of sweetness, Tenderness of tenderness. He is the
Quintessence of Compassion. He is not blind. You are blind.
Yet you can become by His Grace a seeing person. Acquire
this grace, grow in spirituality, evolve! You are bodiless,
you are spaceless. Such is the nature of the Consciousness.
Even through psychological techniques, psychological
self-analysis you can arrive at this fact, that
Consciousness is beyond and above the body's eating habits.
Live as Consciousness, not as a dead matter, not as a
perishing body.
Live as a Consciousness, a
Consciousness, that is luminous, that cannot be touched,
that is subtler than the space, that cannot be cut, that
cannot be burdened with daily problems, while all problems
dissolve themselves, when they touch Consciousness.
Consciousness is Wisdom of God, Knowledge of God, Fire of
God, Light of God. Light is the nature of God. He is the
supreme Light, the Light of all lights known to our
experience. You are Light; that Light, Divine Light. Each of
you is the Divine Light Centre! As such, I give you my
adorations and prostrations.
The word Guru is fantastic, because it
signifies a force, a factor that removes darkness. It is a
principle of the Divine that illuminates and liberates you.
That is Guru. Guru is an embodiment of infinite divine
Knowledge. He liberates you from human conditions, unites
you with the Heart of God, makes you divine, purely by
knowledge, dynamic knowledge, divine knowledge, a knowledge
which is experienced the moment you know and experience,
that you are not the body but the timeless Spirit of God,
indestructible, all-perfect, all-fulfilled, the fullness of
Joy, the fullness of Wisdom, of all Arts and Sciences, or
all forms of Joy.
The moment you know yourself as the
infinite Truth, you are liberated, you are free from all
limitations to which time and space condition you, to which
the birth in human life conditions you, freed from the
limitations of human mind and heart and will.
Knowledge
is Power, Wisdom is Power. Wisdom is the Liberator. Wisdom
is the eternal Life-giver. Guru gives you Wisdom. Where
there is Wisdom, there is Light. The nature of Wisdom is
Light, it is Knowledge, it is Consciousness. The nature of
Consciousness is Light. By Light, Guru illuminates you.
Guru, the Remover of darkness, the
Illuminator, the Enlightener - such a Being is in perfect
Union and Communion with God.
