Each
person struggles through
live. For some the trials are
overpowering, for others a bored
status quo prevails,and
for a minority mountains are
pounded to dust in
the search for meaning and joy.
Within the invisible depths of
each soul there is a yearning.
A need to know ‘Why?’.
‘Why do we live?’,
‘Why do we experience problems?’,
‘Why are we travellers on the
journey of life?’.
In the search for answers to
their uncertainties many turn to
the God-realised Saint.

For thousands of years in Indian culture there has been the tradition
of surrendering one’s self to the guru. Even in today’s
modern society the tradition still lives. One can see young graduates
renouncing the world to became sadhus for a place at Swamishri’s
feet. To them he is everything. Through his teachings and inspirations
they become the next generation of knights, albeit gentle, of the
faith, defending and sustaining the ancient culture and spirituallity
of India against the evils of today’s materialistic society.

Nirbhaycharan Swami : How can we imbibe the qualities which are
present in you?
|
 |
Swamishri : Read Vachanamritam Gadhada I/67. Always bear that in
mind. Also what does Maharaj tell us in Vachanamritam Gadhada I/9?
We should not desire to see Akshardham or anything in it. By meeting
Maharaj we’ve attained everything. Seeing Him we’ve seen
the Abode and all the liberated souls. We should keep an unflinching
conviction that we have nothing left to attain. Then we shall never
feel unfulfilled or as if we’ve missed out.

But we remain under the influence of the three gunas all day.

Swamishri : They will always be there. But we can be immune to their
influence by obeying the agna of the Satpurush at any time, any
place, anywhere. By following his agna we become atmasattarup -
as the atma, not the body. But beware never to find faults in our
seniors. We doubt Swami by thinking, ‘Swami did this because
someone convinced him to.’ To feel that Swami acts upon someone
else’s advice means we feel that Swami has shortcomings.
