How can you say No to your Guru

Shri Gurubyo Namaha
JAI MA

How can you say no to your Guru!

The only way to conduct ourselves in the presence of our Guru is to be in full attention mode, ever thinking "Your wish is my command."

I believe that we have got whatever we deserve, and we have got everything only by the grace of our Guru. If he has given whatever you deserve, when he asks something of you, how can you say no to your guru?

Only people who think that they have not got what they deserve will think about saying no to the Guru.But how much of a fact is that we have not got what we deserve. If we think deeply, it is because we do not cherish our blessings. We do not see what we have got but tend to think about what we have not got. How bad is our plight? How much, we have been the cause of our plight?

Our Guru knows all. He knows what to ask of us and what not to ask. Therefore it is our duty to await his wish and do it as its his command.

Our Guru is supreme intelligence personified, and we should not apply our intelligence in his presence. He will do the thinking for all of us. This is not meant to make us think that we should not use our minds, but to use it in the best possible way, ever remembering that his intellect supercedes us.

The upcoming occasion of our Paramaguru Aaradhana is one such opportunity to do as per our Guru's Commands.

The Aaradhana is the way our Guru celebrates his Guru. He celebrates the fact that he has been blessed by such a Guru in Swami Sri Vidya Dos. These celebrations are seen physically once a year. But we all know how Swamiji celebrates his Guru throughout the year - every moment.

We as the disciples should celebrate our Guru every moment we are with him and even when not in his presence. These celebrations should not be limited to once a year, or while in his presence, but should be continuous.

The Aaradhana is one way of celebrating our ParamaGuru for having blessed us all with such a supreme Sath Guru.

Let us join hands and make this 10th Aaradhana of our Parama Guru a wonderous and divine celebration. Don't ever say no to your Guru.

Jai Ma
