Master for life

You are a poorna ansh of creation.
Poorna is that from which everything
emerged and goes back to, that
is you. Tied to limited buddhi and
the limitations of the five senses,
you identify yourself as apoorna,
incomplete. Lifetime after lifetime
is spent in pursuit of the incomplete,
till one finds his guru.
A guru is someone who does not
charge a fee. A guru exudes the glow
and attraction associated with yog;
diseases disappear in his presence;
whatever he says comes true, and his
chants result in divine manifestations
and experiences.
The guru, one by one, removes
the veils of maya and avidya (ignorance),
helping people realise their
true potential, the realisation of
which is pure bliss. Before this, one
tends to look for happiness in the
temporary, that which is destructible
and certain to leave you. And that
causes immense pain.
Finding a guru can be like finding
a boatman in rough waters. The boatman
does not smoothen the rough
waters, but puts you on the boat that
takes you across the ocean.
So, a guru does not promise to rid
you of your problems, but he shows
you the path to positive karma and
then liberation from the cycle of the
pain of birth and death.
Your problems are a result of your
karma and only your karma shall
rid you of them. There are only a
few who can ride the boat, because
there are only as many who desire
the final reality. The night of Guru
Poornima is of special significance
to a shishya. Yagya (sacrifice) and
mantra sadhna (practise chanting)
performed on this night under the
guidance of a guru can bestow boons
equivalent to many years of sadhna
put together.
