…..contd…..
If what you say is true and justified, even I should be low
and depressed. Yes, you all call me Guruji and there are lots of other Guru’s in
this world. Many of them own ashrams and properties worth crores of rupees and
branches all over the world. When their followers talk to me, they talk about
how great their Guru is because
a. he has so many foreigners as students
b.
branches all over the world
c. he is lecturing or seen in various TV channels.
I’ve none of this. So do I feel bad? Am I to feel inferior to these so-called
famous Gurus?” she asked looking at us all. I didn’t miss the twinkle in her
eyes as she posed this question. We knew the comparison was senseless. Yes, she
was not a public figure nor did she have any assets or fancy ashrams to boast
of! But those who took her as Guru knew how those with all this was nothing
before her. They never voiced it openly though because she didn’t like it done
that way. But they all knew that she was not on the same platform as them. Most
of these so-called Gurus, sorry to say I found them good only as performers who
were valuing themselves with the number of clientele and fan following they
had. Hence their action, words and every thing directed was to achieve that
end. Their followers never understood it nor did they accept it – that’s a
different story.
‘Even when everyone falls at my feet, I am what I am and even
when everyone forsakes me and maligns me, I remain what I am’. Hence, my
worthiness is not people dependent. Heal yourself and become self-reliant. Each
flower blooms to showcase itself, not to prove to other flower. Bloom likewise
to express yourself. Live as you want to. Not to prove someone.
