On finding a Guru

…contd….

Usually people talk nonsense like “if I change my attitude, then what’s the purpose of Guru.”

“It’s the duty of Guru to change my attitude”.

They listen to some discourse (many times from the middle) and without understanding the context get a sentence such as above and think they can just relax and wait for Guru to come and clean their system. Your such attitude says you consider your Guru to be ‘your astral scavenger’.

First check yourself in meditation. Ask a question and sit in meditation.

“What is that I expect from my Guru”?

Why do I want these things to be done by my Guru?

What is the definition of Guru for me?

These questions need to be answered before you send your intent of wanting to meet your Guru into the Universe because you receive what you desire. It’s the definition of Guru that decides the type of Guru you’ll meet in your life. So, be very careful about it.

Every person who is capable of teaching few techniques of some methodology doesn’t qualify as Guru. So, don’t be fooled by a term ‘master’ which is suffix of various professionals like yoga master, pranic master, reiki master etc.

Preferably take a Guru as one who’s left his human body like Gautam Buddha, Babaji (Mahavatar Baba), Paramahamsa, Jesus and others. Chances of you going wrong with Sir Adi Shankaracharya, Paramacharya et like is next to impossible. But it’s difficult to know about a person who’s living an ordinary life – to know if he/she is worthy of being a Guru or not.

If you select a wrong person as Guru, your downfall is faster than later as you draw their energies into your life and it’ll create havoc in your life.

Everyone loves to be called and respected as Guru but no one wants to work to be worthy of that post. So, many will not say ‘I am not worthy of being a Guru’. They may lead you to believe them as their Guru with their silence or smile. But you end up paying the price of your ignorance and stupidity and trust me it’s very high price and certainly not worth it. I am not frightening you but stating the fact. So please, please don’t call all and sundry as your Guru and work for your downfall. Instead select as Ideal as Jesus, Gautama Buddha, Paramacharya and pray daily to them to send the right Guru to you and also work on your attitudes in the meantime. Don’t be impatient to meet a Guru. Wait for the right one to come your way. Till then keep meditating daily with regularity, sincerity, purity and faith and you’ll meet your Guru – for sure!

Those of you who understand telugu listen to the talk by Sri Chaganti Koteswara Rao given last week on the film “Shankarabharanam”. Very clearly he explains the Guru / Shishsya’s relationship and everything to know about both through that movie and its characters. It is telecasted in various TV Channels and also found in UTUBE....
