Few FAQs with Guru
(S – stands for student and G- stands for
Guru in this post)
G – No. I consider myself greater than
Krishna and so let my student commit 100 times more mistakes before I take some
action?
S – (Student laughs at her sense of humour) So you too kill them?
G – No, not physically. I just send them
away from my life. I don’t get angry and so don’t punish them. I realize by
then that no amount of work on them is going to make a change in their attitude
for now. After the ‘saturation point’ that I’ve set for them I reached I ask
them to go elsewhere. I just stop seeing them and teaching them. What is the
fun of meeting each other if we are not good with each other? If I am not of
any benefit then the purpose of me being in his life becomes redundant and
hence I part as friends with them. No malice nothing! I don’t send them away
because I am angry at them. I no more have anything more to offer them. So, I
ask them to leave so I can direct my energies on someone else who has and will
come seeking what I have to offer them.
No good carrying a dead relationship as
ever! Better to say good bye while we still have good feelings for each other!
S – Then they will go to other masters
seeking their help.....
G – Good for both of them! Every nut will
find its place. A person who wants to run illegal business or relationship has
to go elsewhere seeking advice and help. My expertise is limited to ONLY GIVING
ADVICE ON DEVELOPING CLARITY OF THOUGHT, HEALING KARMA AND OUTGROWING KAMA,
KRODHA, LOBHA, MADA AND MATSARYAM. Not to instigate that in the person. And
rightly said by you, there will be people using peoples’ need and greed to
their benefit in the guise of being a ‘master’. Good for them and good for the
student who goes to them. God bless them both!
Shakuni wouldn't suite Arjuna and Duryodhan wouldn't benefit from Krishna. Each master unto his student. That's why it is Krishna for Arjuna and Shakuni for Duryodhan. What you are walking towards decides which master you get attracted to!
And that is the beauty and wonderful thing
about all this! No master is good for all! No master comes for all! No one
master is enough for all!
Each unto his nature and desire!
There is an animal and Divine in each one
of us! That is what Vedic philosophy states! And I teach to overcome that
animal in us and to light that Divine spark within us. Let only those who want
this, stay, let others go where their desires and karma take them!
I work within these parameters only. Just
because you demand me to ‘fulfill’ your ‘adharmic’ desires I am not going to
break my parameters.
S - How would you wind up your advice for me?
G - Seek not favours from your master. Seek not pity from your master. Seek not fulfillment of your desires from your master. Seek ways to work towards your Divine Nature. That itself will take take of everything else.
When you seek blessings, favours, material gains and hold on to animal nature, even when God's bless you, it will not reach you right!
Be not with a master who works to please you. He will exploit you in more than one ways. He has nothing to offer you. He will use you for his benefit only.
Instead be with a master who gives you pain of losing your lower nature. He is working towards your higher good. He means good for you. He seeks that good which would benefit you for all your future janmas too to come!
And pray that you are given clarity of thought to know the right from the wrong!

Concluded.....
# each unto his deed, master and student,
Points to be taken :
- There is an animal within each one of us!
- There is a Divine spark within each one of us!
- Master is one who lets you and shows you to kill the animal within and ignite the Divine within, each time you falter in life.
- The one who promises to fulfill your desires may be called a master - but there are actually different words for such people.
- The one who goes to such people because of one's own greed and nature falls into their trap and gets exploited.
- It is our weakness that drives us towards such people. Our weakness is at fault. As long as we are weak from within, there will be people who will exploit us.
