Me, My Guru – Virochana and Indra

 Contd.....

Me, My Guru – Virochana and Indra

In these years, Prajapathi taught them the importance of good health, wealth and waking consciousness (Jagrat Avastha)

At the end of 32 years, they took leave of their Guru and left towards their abode. When they crossed quite a distance, they took leave of each other to go their respective ways. It was then that Indra thought “This body is perishable. So this Knowledge of maintaining it cannot be ultimate. My Guru must’ve meant something else. I’ll go back and find it out!”. He turned around and returned to the Ashram.

Whereas Virochana looked at his reflection, recollected all his teachings and felt “This body is Ultimate!. So, beauty and importance of this body, abundance of wealth and power, gratification of physical senses through various pleasures is the Ultimate!”. This he taught to all his subjects – Asuras. They were very happy and lived based on these teachings. Even today, the majority lead their life around these teachings only! People who live and believe so to be the “Be All” are called “Asuras”. They lead an “asuric life”. They develop “asuric or demonic quality in themselves”.

On the other hand, Indra reached Ashram, explained his doubt to his Guru and sought an explanation. Prajapathi agreed to teach more but with the condition that Indra stays as a Brahmachari (Celibate student) with him for another 32 years. Indra agreed again. He stayed back.

read the post to know the qualities required in a disciple to learn from his Guru...

Pointers to understand this post:

" My Guru must’ve meant something else. I’ll go back and find it out!”. He turned around and returned to the Ashram " - The person who can realize that whatever he knows is not enough and he needs to seek further is the person who is destined to grow. His attitude is the reason he develops and becomes a 'deva'.

" This he taught to all his subjects – Asuras. " - One who thinks he is got ALL RIGHT is the one who is drunk with arrogance and his ego will never let him see through his ignorance. Having learnt wrong and limited, he will spread the same unto all he meets and teaches. That also becomes his karma. Everyone is in the hurry to become a master!

Their low self-esteem forces them to sit on the throne of mastership at the earliest. Unfortunately, that becomes the 'rod' that hits with karma in their life.
