No matter who or what you are, the guru is a necessity in your life. We are all lost wanderers in the ocean of life. We need a direction, a goal and an aim to sustain us. The entire span of existence is spent searching for a purpose. We look for it in wealth, in status, in relationships, but ultimately realize the illusory quality of these pleasures, and when a man reaches old age, he feels that life ahs cheated him. He feels that it was all futile and meaningless. He is left bankrupt.
If you reflect closely on your life, you will find that it has been spent entirely in the search of something. You knock on many doors, and return defeated. You search for eternal love, but it eludes you, you hunt after money and status, but it is just a temporary quest. And even after attaining it, you still fell dissatisfied and discontented. Even if you supposedly have all the requisites for a happy and successful life, such as beauty, fiends, wealth and success, you still cannot eliminate that nagging insecurity which haunts you in fear of growing old, the fear of death. In times of solitude these fears become living realities and you feel shattered.
Many people have argued that a guru is not necessary, that the real guru is within us. This is true. But how many of us can claim to hear him, understand him, or follow his instructions? In fact, we even tend to doubt his existence. The mental concepts of man are limited and gross; the mind is a tumult of turbulent passions, desires and ambitions. Amidst all this commotion, how is it possible for you to hear the voice of your guru, which is the voice of silence?
You cannot deny that at times you have suffered due to you inability to cope with the circumstances and the cruelties which befall you. You may have enormous wealth, but your poor health does not permit you to enjoy it. You have children, but they fall prey to drugs, schizophrenia and insanity. You have a good job, but you don’t derive the mental satisfaction you are seeking. Or maybe you business is not stable, sometimes the evil and negative influences of an ill-wisher casts a spell on your family. Whichever way you look at it, it seems a losing battle.
You have tried every method to surpass these difficulties, but in vain. You have been to psychiatrists and doctors, even your own efforts have not succeeded. But if you realize that the guru is the simplest remedy for even these afflictions hen you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
The guru is there to take care of your practical as well as spiritual difficulties. He can cure your sickness; his positive influence can eliminate any evil spells that are affecting your life. Your children may not pay heed to your advice but they will surely listen to him. If your business is a t stake, you may consult him about any imminent dangers.
The guru does not exist in the realm of the senses. He has attained psychic vision and his knowledge has advanced beyond the limitations of time and space. He has developed the power of intuition, and therefore he can know your past, present and future. Divine powers work through him and, therefore, association with him always brings you good results.
His advice is accurate and his judgment sound. He is fully aware of the dangers that may befall you, and if you seek his advice, he can warn you well in advance, but, in order to understand him, you must be receptive to his words. You must try to behold an enduring relationship with him, so that, when you need him, he is there to guide and protect you.
