Om Namah Shambhave
Much love and much blessings to all of you on this sacred day of Guru Purnima.
Today;s program was very beautiful; felt very nice and felt a lot happy watching everyone who chanted or sang , to all of them I give my copious blessings.
You are all very blessed as one can get a guru only through the grace of God! Guru is not a result of your search . When the lord decides to shower you with grace you , that time the right guru for your life is brought before you. Getting a guru in your life is possible only when the lord showers His Grace on you.
Guru means –the One who leads your life from darkness to light. So it is very necessary that when we surrender our life to a guru , we free ourselves of whatever happens in our life after this surrender ; meaning , there is no need to get concerned about any matter in our lives and when we can become thus , that alone is surrender.
Having accepted a guru , if we finally continue to use our intellect and make our decisions , meaning irrespective of what the guru instructs if we do what we wish to , then there was no need of a guru in the first place. This is so as you consider only the present and whatever decisions you can take viewing the present and those decisions could be right or wrong whereas the guru knows about your tomorrows and what is good for you and his decisions for you are based on your welfare . The guru knows what lies ahead for you and which path is right for you and which would be the wrong path.
Having faced many challenges in life , and reaching his true inner being , when an ordinary person sits on the seat of a guru , he takes his disciples along the same path which he traversed to attain that state after which he sat on that pedestal. So when you accept a guru in your life or you are moving along with his teachings, it is very important that when you go before your guru , you do not go with your individuality ,your mind, your thoughts . You will be able to understand the guru only if you set your thoughts and knowledge apart ; because as long as you go with your learning and knowledge in front of the guru ,you may deprive yourself of the path or direction or the teaching that he would like to impart . In this arena you are a complete zero and in your life only the guru can be the one that can add value to the zero and make your life sacred and priceless.
Greetings and blessings to all of you on the occasion of guru purnima. Very soon I will be giving you the very important message that I spoke to you about earlier. I bless you this day that there be light in your lives and your lives move from darkness to light , and let every moment get you a a beautiful experience and on this occasion I bless you and for the beautiful program that was put on display I send you all much love and blessings from My Heart !!!
Om Namah Shambhave.
Gratitude Note By Dr. Vasantha Nair
Babaji, let me say what I have to say on a small note of gratitude . Let me begin by stating that I am indeed very fortunate to be made to do this and more so , for the fact that I have been chosen by you . You keep shaking my beliefs, beating them out while at the same time you are not willing to release me . I am indeed very fortunate about this . Besides this , thank you very much, for giving me this opportunity to translate every one of your message. Neither abilities nor smartness nor oratory skills and debating prowess are the reasons that I am able to do it. Only because you have blessed it is , your energy has been given to me that it goes on and I put all this back as an offering at Your Feet Babaji with all my love .
O Most Beloved Babaji ,On behalf of the whole samaj stand here before you on the last leg of today’s function, to offer gratitude on behalf of the whole samaj. This is not a customary vote of thanks, as in all the functions. It is a golden moment; it is not one moment, it comes moment after moment, breath after breath.In it lies the humble gratitude beating in our hearts for all
that we have received and keep receiving from you in this journey of life .We are not even aware of all that you shower on us :
Unconditional love we don't know what it is!
Protection – holding our lives in your fist whether be it corona or floods , you are there to hold us in your fist. Guiding us in thoughts words and deeds.
Knowledge and wisdom.
Connecting in the subtle plane.
Experiences in plenty.
Motivating us to tap our inner light within us and yet , you laughed joked with us like a friend ! We don't forget your Munmuni mudra joke!
For all this and more our stream of gratitude will keep flowing in an endless torrent . Accept it Babaji. Please accept it.
You keep advicing us – “Be Nothing” ! “Be present every moment !!”! Tirelessly you keepgiving us these little pearls of Wisdom through messages and through satsangs! O ! How can we forget them , how can we forget them!?
Babaji , all those with whom you studied are holding high positions in the material world today ;you alone chose the spiritual path and became Babaji –sharing Your knowledge and wisdom, love and protection! Before we reach you with ouroutstreched palms for various favors , and for your blessings, we have a responsibility to fulfill. In olden times , the kings and Brahmins used to look after the welfare of the gurus. We are fortunate that this responsibility has fallen on our lot . I pray Babaji , that we are given the wisdom to understand and fulfill this .
Your position is by far distinct and separate from all others. Far above that of our mother’s and father’s!
As a mother a continuous torrent of unconditional love flows out touching ourlives. We feel it ! Cannot understand or measure it! You want us to transform into that love!!
As a father , You are equally a compassionate and protective father , holding our welfare in Your Sacred Palm! [“aap sab ka jeevan mere muthi mein hai “] Yet , you can be firm and in discipline – scolding us when we go on the wrong path. We just have to ask for forgiveness, you melt with love saying – “my life is incomplete without You!” Banbaji , your life may be incomplete without us , but we are a big zero without you! It is you standing before the many zeroes that we are , that we get valued and make our lives meaningful and sacred !! So dear Babaji , please don’t leave us , please forgive us for anything wrong that we may do that is not good for us . Please don’t leave your support to us Babaji! Please Babaji ! Om namah shambhave! Love you Babaji ! !
