Guru is question of necessity


Guru Brmha, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwaraha…

Guru is always considered as a God. Since Guru play a role of bringing a light in the life of a person. In all the scriptures the Guru is described as good as God. But Guru never says, “ I am  God”. But disciple (seeker) duty is to offer respect to the Guru just as he offers respect to God.

 If all the lights in the room immediately shutoff, we would not be able to tell where we are or where others are sitting. Everything would become confused. Similarly, in materialistic life the darkness. 

Therefore it needs light from sun, moon or electric light for illumination. The Guru responsibility is to bring his seekers from darkness to light. In materialistic life darkness means ignorance.

A criminal may say, “I did not know the law,” But he will not be excused if he commits a crime. Ignorance has no excuse. Similarly, a child, not knowing that fire will burn, will touch the fire. The fire does not think, “this is a child and he does not know , that will burn.” No, there is no excuse. Just as there is state of laws, there are stringent laws of nature, and these laws will act despite our ignorance of them. If we do something out of ignorance, we have to suffer. This is the law. Whether the law is state law or law of nature, we risk suffering if we break it.

The guru business is to see that his seeker doesn’t suffer in this material world. Guru rescues his seeker from ignorance.

We send our children to school to save them from suffering. If our children do not receive an education, we fear that they will suffer in the future. The Guru sees that suffering is due to ignorance which is compared to darkness. How can one in darkness be saved? By light. The Guru takes the torchlight of knowledge and presents it before the living entity enveloped in darkness. That knowledge relieves him from the sufferings of the darkness of ignorance.

One must need Guru in life. One who is serious about understanding spiritual life requires a Guru. A Guru is question of necessity.

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...
