Sadgurudev’s Birthday: 21 April
My soul is united with Gurudev’s soul
Guru and disciple relationship is the purest relationship in this world. No other relationship whether it be of mother-son, husband-wife or lovers is above this. When a disciple reaches to the level where he or she can’t even imagine the existence without Guru, then only a disciple can call himself or herself a true disciple. We are presenting some extracts from the speeches of Gurudev where He mentioned how a disciple can reach to great heights in life and what is a true love.
One day a young, handsome and well-dressed man came to visit Gurudev. He was a bit reluctant to open up initially and then shyly asked Gurudev if He has loved someone in His life. Gurudev initially took the matter lightly but then the man continued to insist on his question. The discussion that went between them is as captured below:
“No, you must first answer whether you have ever loved anyone in your life or not”, he emphasized.
“No, I have never loved someone in my life like you have been loving someone. Had I done something like this, my disciples would have thrown me into prison. I have never done anything like this in my life”, I replied.
“O Guruji! The thing is that I love someone”, he said reluctantly.
I said, “All the Indians don’t do anything else than this and when they don’t get success in love, they come to me. This is the second stage where you have come to meet me.”
“No-no Guruji! Don’t take it as a joke. Please Guruji! Don’t consider it a joke.” he added.
I said, “I am not taking it as a joke.”
He affirmed, “I have truly loved someone in my life Guruji!”
I said, “You have done a great work in your life. You have done something which no one would have been able to accomplish. This world is indebted to you, this complete India is indebted to you. What happened next?”
He asked further, “Do you know Pushpa Guruji?”
I replied, “I don’t know anyone named Pushpa. Pushpa is not the name of any river. If you would have said Ganga, I would have said that yes it is in Haridwar, if you would have mentioned Yamuna, I would have said yes it is in Delhi. I know Pushp (flower).”
He said, “I am not talking about Pushp Guruji! I am talking about Pushpa, Guruji!”
I said, “No, I don’t know anyone named Pushpa. Tell me what is the matter.”
“Pushpa is the lady whom I love Guruji! If you come with me, I will show her to you. I guaranty that you would have not move out of Hapur if I show her. You would have stood spell bound there only. You would not have been able to move a step after watching her. I am telling you this Guruju.” he added.
I asked, “Then how were you able to move and come here?”
He added, “The thing is that Guruji, there was lots of love between us initially. I used to admire her daily, she never spoke a word to me, not even a single. I kept admiring her, but she never paid any attention towards me. Now I am under your retreat and pray to you to perform any Tantrik operation such that she come running to me and say that she loves me a lot. Do something like this Guruji. I have heard a lot about you that you are a great preacher of Tantra-Mantra. I have read a lot of your books, your magazines. Have a look at this photograph.” He again took out the photograph and touched it to his eyes. I then asked him, “Have you ever talked to her?”
He replied, “Guruji! This is the main issue. She lives in my neighborhood yet she never talked to me. You have to promise that you will help me to attain her.”
I thought – He has already wasted my half an hour. This happens in love and there is nothing new in it. It is just that he is an addition in the field of Laila-Majnu.
I said, “Look I can’t help you. I have not opened any such agency. I can’t help you to meet her.” The moment I said these words, he fell down from the chair and fainted at that very moment….I thought that he is just enacting, however when I looked at his face, I found that foam was coming out of his mouth. I thought that this person is completely mad. I need to do something before anything unfortunate happens. I sprinkled some water on his face. My wife came running into the room after hearing the sound of someone falling on the ground and asked me, “What happened?”
I said, “Nothing, it’s because Pushpa didn’t come…..” Interrupting me in between she asked, “Who is Pushpa?” I replied, “I haven’t yet seen the photograph. It is in his pocket.” I took out the photograph from his pocket and found that it was of a lady and the photograph was shot from a distant place. I kept it back in his pocket thinking that it might happen that his heart stop beating if I will keep it away for a long time. I thought that perhaps this photograph is like a pacemaker for his heart.
It took more than an hour for him to regain consciousness. I tried everything in between. I made him smell shoes, put chilli powder in his nose, however he didn’t become normal. I thought that I might be charged for some foul case for ill-treating this man or giving him some water which fainted him.
I took him out, it was summer, I swayed fan around him and called my disciples….what could have I told my disciples…I told them that he has fainted because of hot weather. My disciples said to me, “GuruJi! We request you not to meet anyone around 12 pm. Please take care of this thing in future.”
I said, “I never knew he would get unconscious around 12 pm or else I would have not met him.”
He came back to his senses around 4 pm and the first word he uttered was “Pushpa…. Pushpa”…..and then he stood up. I told him not to worry and that he was fine now. “No Guruji ! You first let me know what you will do.”, he insisted.
I said, “Don’t worry. I am sitting here just to help you only.” I thought that it would become very difficult to control him if his madness again overpowers him. I continued, “I will go to Hapur along with you. I will bring her to you. You should stop worrying now.”
I have given an example of the relation between a lover and his beloved. Such is this relationship and if such a relationship is developed with God then you will get transformed into Meera, you will become Kabir, you will become Surdaas, then you will become Tulsidaas, then you will become Raidaas, then you will become Chaitanya… and when you have such a relationship with your Guru, then only Guru resides in your heart.
There should be a madness, an attachment, such that there should be no existence without Him. When we attain such a stage, then only we can claim that Guru resides in our soul. If you are very poor and a millionaire adopts you, then you will yourself become a millionaire, you will not have to earn that money. You don’t have to recite any Mantra, you don’t have to study Guru Upanishad or Shishyopanishad. The moment you are able to attach your Guru to your soul, His entire knowledge, His entire mantra chanting, His entire consciousness will enter into you. Then you won’t have to accomplish any sadhana. Both of these paths are available, one in which you are able to establish Guru in your heart and other where you perform all the sadhanas and mantra chanting.
It is necessary to become a disciple if you want to travel on the first path. Being a disciple to completely assimilate oneself into Guru and you don’t have any identity in this stage, anything then that is Guru. Now there is no selfishness in it, I didn’t ask you to go and get me five crore rupees, however, “Twadiyam Vastu Govinda Tubhya-mevam Samarpayet”…all this that I have in my life, everything related to me in this life, my money, my fame, my sons all belong to you. What all you have given to me, I am offering it back to you. Along with these, I also offer you my ill deeds, my false, my shortcomings, my problems and everything that is associated to me.
And when you will attain this stage, Guru will himself take all your problems on Himself and will solve them. When all the siddhis, nidhis, ten mahavidhyas dance before the Guru, then they will also dance before you. Then it is not possible for any of your enemies to harm you because Goddess Kali will Herself take care of you, then Goddess Lakshmi will Herself give money to you. Then you will not have to join your hands before those Gods and Goddesses, there will be no need to chant their Hymns. You can either offer water to the leaf or to the root. If you offer the water to the root only, then entire tree will get flourished.
We all are chasing happiness in our lives. We try to find happiness in things and people around us. We think that if we will have a big house in our life, we will be very happy and start working to achieve this goal in life. We work day and night to meet our goal and once we attain it, we feel very satisfied in life. However, the irony of life is what all we attain doesn’t satisfy us for a longer duration. Soon we either get bored of it or we start feeling there was nothing great about achieving this goal. And then starts a new search, a search for something which will quench our thirst, something which will help us feel satisfied in life.
However, we can’t attain happiness from any outer source. No matter how hard we try in life, happiness can’t be attained from others. If our source of happiness is from a person, then we will start feeling sad and depressed from that very moment when the person leaves us or hurts us. From that very day, that person will become a source of sorrow in our life. Thus, to attain an unending happiness, we need to seek within ourselves. This phenomenon is not a simple thing, this phenomenon will entirely change you, it will make you a part of those few person who remain calm and composed in every adverse situation of life.
All this is possible only if we assimilate Guru in our each and every pore, in each drop of our blood, in each and every breath, when we install His thoughts in our mind and soul. It is the disciple who needs to put efforts to reach to such a great level in life. However, getting blessed with such a divine diksha empowers our path and guides us to reach to the level which is even treasured by great sages. This diksha is one of its kind and is extremely difficult to attain. However, on this very birthday of SadGurudev, all the disciples can get initiated with Guru Pran Ek diksha and proceed onto the path of greatness.
It is mandatory to obtain Guru Diksha from Revered Gurudev before performing any Sadhana or taking any other Diksha.
