You will find what you seek!

Let me start by posing a question.

CAN YOU DEFINE HOW A SWAMIJI SHOULD ACT?
(Do not confine your thoughts to how our Swamiji acts, or should act, or how you would like him to act)
...
...
...
If you can - well and good. I request you to know think about it a bit more and write it out on a piece of paper.
Just write about 10-15 lines on 'How a Swamiji should act'

Now that you have done.......
....
I request you to throw it into the dustbin. You will not find that here at Siddha Bala Peetam.
Because....
HE is beyond definition.
How much ever good qualities you can think of, He is holier than that.
How much ever you have accurately written about his characters, He is much more than that.
He is deeper than what you can fathom. He is Bigger than that you can measure. He is all that you can hope for and a million times more.
I wish to only say ...
You will find in Swamiji what You wish to see. You will get what you search for. You will get what you deserve.
If you seek guidance, you will find it. If you seek compassion, you will find it. If you seek knowledge you will find it. If your seek ananda, you will find it. If you seek solace, you will find it. If you seek solutions to your problems, you will find it. If you seek forgiveness, you will find it. If you seek to have divine experience, you will find it.
At the same time, If you seek to find mistakes, you will also find it. If you seek to look for flaws in his character or actions you will find it. Believe me, it is not He that matters - but You.
By trying to define Swamiji, we are trying to impose our version or our understanding of the concept of Swamiji and trying to limit him. But HE being an enlightened soul, we have to understand that HE is beyond all that.
Dear members, many of you may have already understood the above. But I wish to make just a point.
When you first met swamiji, it is but natural to be inquisitive and test the waters. But, once you have accepted him as your Guru, we have to accept him as a whole and not in parts. We would be only foolish, if we were to take only certain aspects of his guidance.
Let us all take his guidance unquestioningly - and I am sure, we will all lead fruitful lives.
Jai MA
