Me, My Guru


.contd……..

“then what is the purpose of having such  great Gurus in our midst if we always are going to miss learning from then?” Rahul asked dejected…

“No,no. Always remember for millions who have misunderstood Budha we have a Angulimaan who became enlightened Master.  For thousands who sit to judge Jesus we have St.Francis and such great saints. Let all you question Sri Paramahamsa do so, but there was one Vivekanancda who turned the course of History based on his Guru’s teachings.”

“Now, why they are able to learn and become such great men and why not others?’ is your next question, right ?’ she asked with a mischievous smile and we nodded sheepishly..

she continued “because, they didn’t have a major block in them called ‘ego’ when they sat beside their Guru.  A master can fill you only as much as you are empty and as per the size of your vessel.  Remember that always.  Where ‘YOU’ cease to exit, their his Grace descends on you and you ‘learn’ from Him.”

We knew what ego is and why we can’t put it aside when we are with Her. We didn’t ask any questions further and she left us with our mixed emotions and multiple thoughts…

We stood where we had started.  Could we ever trade our ego with knowledge? I doubted that highly.  But hoped against hope that day comes sooner that later!
