Raise yourself instead of bringing Guru down🔗

People come and ask me 'Swamiji, many times I feel thatyou are talking exactly to me, directly to me. It is not the public discourse. You know you are talking only to me.' They ask me 'Did you read my mind? How are you answering all the questions which I am having? Did you read my mind?'

I tell them first thing - I never do that job because I respect your privacy. Second thing - who wants to waste time with all the nonsense which goes on in their head. Neither I am interested nor willi ng to read somebody's mind.

What exactly happens is, the Presence of the Master is so intense, any mind which comes and sits in front of it just by the very Presence, heat, your questions are answered; that's all. Whatever questions you carry just answer comes out without even me logically reading and answering.

Many times, I ask people to talk, so that they will understand what their problem is; it is not for me to solve. Because the Master's mind, enlightened mind, does not work with the logic with which your mind is working.

If you think the enlightened Masters logic work in the same way your mind is working you missed the whole truth. You missed even the Master. You will not be able to understand the truth, you will not be able to raise yourself to his level; you will bring him to your level.

Never take Guru's words for granted

Taking the Master's words for granted, not taking them into your heart and making your life align to it, not using the words of the Master and reinventing your life and restrategizing is the worst thing can happen to you because, listen, because, other than the Master's words, there is no anchor available to planet Earth. Please understand, anybody who has drowned in the ocean of samsara, the ocean of delusion and bondage, the only anchor available to raise yourself to the next level is Master's words. From the other plane of existence, the only bridge available to this plane, this universe, is an Enlightened Master's words.

The first time when you hear Guru's words, with so much of seeking, interest, excitement, you enjoy it, start picking up many things and internalizing as part of your life, and then after some time, your seeking comes down, you listen but take it for granted, "Ok, Ah, like this only he talks, it's ok, I have heard enough." Slowly, when you take Guru's words for granted, for many years you may listen to satsang, but you still create a huge iron wall around you, the Guru's words never penetrates and becomes part of you, because with each word you created a pain pattern, how not to allow that into you to get internalized, how to keep that away from you. Either your earlier failures, or thinking that - I tried but it's not working out, he is great but it's not going to work out for me, developing some kind of these patterns, thought trends, and seeking also, when it is lost, even if you live around the Master for years listening to satsang for years nothing happens to you, you have become a dangerously un-trainable & non-transformable.

If you don't catch that and raise yourself, nothing else- no puja, no meditation, no spiritual practice can help you. The highest spiritual practice is catching the Master's words, constantly reinventing yourself and re-strategizing yourself. Reinventing and re-strategizing yourself is the only way, re-strategizing yourself with every word of the Master, reinventing yourself with every word of the Master, is seeking.
