WHAT IS SADGURU |
|
One of the famous poets of English literature opines that spiritual masters are just like hounds prowling out there to prey but the difference there is that hounds hunt because they are famishing for blood and are the wild beasts whereas spiritual masters hunt not because they are goo goo over the loaf of flesh but because they want to extirpate the individuality of individual self altogether and pave the way of communion of the individual ego with the Absolute Ego. Lord Buddha signifies the importance of "atta deeoo bhavah" (Light unto,thyself) and Upanishads fulminate the gravitas of "Aham Brahmasmi" (Jam the World). But a question very pertinently surfaces - who will make you see that you are the world or who will ignite the torch so that you can peek unto thyself. The simplest answer is - one and alone - the spiritual master or Sadguru. Famous medieval saint St. Augustine says "ex nihilo nihil fit" - nothing can be produced from void. To produce something you need a medium. The medium here is Sadguru who makes the communion of individual self with the God Almighty possible.
