MY GURU'S LOVE - 29th May 2008 12.00 am
Since the time i started my spiritual search - I think I started when I was 13 years old - I had been reading stories about the great saints and their love & devotion to their Guru's. All the saints say - there is nothing greater than a Guru's love & protection - the Bhagwad Gita says it, the Guru Gita says it, the Ramayana says it - and so do all the great spiritual texts. I tried to imagine how wonderful it would be to have such a Guru as I grew spiritually & thought those saints mentioned in the books were so lucky to have great Gurus who protected & guided them, but what about us poor mortals !! I couldnt be so lucky after all, I thought to myself. After I met my Guru, I realised what a Guru's grace, protection & love can be. What I had only read and imagined came true in my own life. Till date, I dont remember a single instance when I have prayed to my Guru for help, protection & guidance, and he has failed me !!! Not even one single instance in all these years that I have known him !!! I am myself stupefied at times as to how my Guru manages to reach me just in the fraction of a second, as soon as I think of him and I get immediate response. I am even more clueless as to what good deeds I have done in my past life to deserve such a divine protection & grace. For a Guru to reach a disciple instantly means only one thing - that he has connected his own consciousness to the disciple and that he has the power to transcend time and space.
