- Antaryatra-Dr. Sarvesh Q. Vora
- As inner development takes place, you get a 'recognizing look' according to your height, your size, your qualifications.
Only a few years ago, the name of a very well-known religious thinker with a huge following was in vogue. During his final years, some of his decades-old followers created great controversy. A gentleman who was considered the right hand of that religious man came to join our camp. He sought permission to use the camp pulpit to speak bitterly about the internal strife between his guru and his vast organization, naturally his proposal was flatly rejected.
The point presented in this quote is another.
The same gentleman asked a question:
Why look for a guru who can elevate us? What are the characteristics of such a Guru? How to recognize such a Guru?
The very premise behind this question was stupid. This turned out to be an inverted calculation where the student determines the teacher's qualification.
The brother who asked the question was burned by a disagreement with his world-famous master, agitated, and that burn was fed: salt to his wounds: by an answer from the camp pulpit.
The answer was: You get a guru according to your personality, according to your personality. May you develop appreciation, develop your identity according to your merit. If you are worthless, even if Sakshat Narayan comes in front of you, you will not be able to recognize him.
One of our friend's daughter defined the characteristics of what her partner should be. Convent education is required. Must be 'presentable'. Should not have junk (elderly!) in the house, if possible should have a car. (Doesn't matter if father earns, father can be harassed and sent to an old age home when he becomes helpless) Must have some film star look... etc etc... street smarts and shallow champlai were the most important requirements!
The sister was not in the mood to listen to anyone's opinion!
Yes, he got married, and despite meeting a 'hero' with all the above-mentioned characters, he is currently being treated for depression by a well-known doctor in the city! The priceless years of youth are passing by, the mother of a thief is in such a bad condition that she is crying in the cell! The full sister is pregnant!
Whose fault?
From careers, to finding a partner, we have learned to see through the eyes of others. Yes, sometimes we use our eyes, but the eyes are very weak, the range of vision is very short. And the same thing applies to finding a Guru.
Whose fault?
The phenomenon of finding the Guru is a very secret psychological phenomenon. As you develop internally, you will see your height,
Get a 'recognizing look' according to your size, your qualifications. Today the situation has become extremely ridiculous. Guru wholesale to chela also wholesale. Many clever gurus even masterfully execute 'chain-marketing'. You shave off the other ten. There was a time when a life insurance agent or a poet appeared at the opposite end of the street and had to change the road, the guard would shame you in the middle of the road and pass a policy or a poem! Today in rich Lattas like Ghatkopar, Walkeshwar, you will be embraced by extremists (terrorists) doing 'chain-marketing' of gurus in the same way!
Guru will identify the lion hidden in you, but only if there is no cataract of self-loathing in your eyes!
