Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma

Me My Guru – on fate, destiny and karma


Pointers to understand the post:




“A Guru and his shishya lived on a mountaintop for many years.” – Take any art – be it painting, martial arts, music, it takes years of sadhan to reach a descent level of proficiency. We all know this. And yet, people want to become “MASTERS”, no sorry, ASSUME  they have BECOME MASTERS attending ½ a day class or just a few classes far in between!!??


How sorry is that state of affairs?

Even to get a normal degree one goes to educational institutions for a minimum of 16-20 years. So, how much more should one practice and be going to his Guru to know even a little in the field of spirituality?



In the good old days and even now Buddhist monks practice for years on end in various monasteries and in forests and such places.

Don’t let your ego blind you to THIS ASSUMPTION that you have become spiritual. Just becoming eligible to walk this path takes years of sadhan and constant interaction with one’s Guru.

Nothing, no google can replace a Guru’s presence in this path!


His bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect and love for his Guru were obvious in his every act of “seva” to his Guru.” – If there is bhakthi, faith, gratitude, respect or love, it is obvious. It need not be declared or proved by logical verbal arguments.

Even an animal and a kid can know it if it is there. The one who is declaring it again and again needs to understand that the need to declare itself is making it evident that these emotions are lacking. Work on them. Meditate on them. Heal the reasons behind them.

Not having them is not the problem. That is the situation. That is fine. Assuming them to be there in self, therein lies the problem. Once we assume, we will never get them in real. So, wake up. Heal. Meditate.

The day I read story when guru asked shishya to home to meet his family . At that day itself i was curious to know the next part of the story in thought of calling you guruji to know the story , but I waited to read the next half of story.....My Big Learning from this story is......Our Life is Fluid and not certain and can be changed with kindness and karma........
