Our guru as FriendFreindship
is a unique relation as a friend shares a special bond. Things we can’t
say to our parents we can easily share with our friends similarly a guru
and shishya shares a special relationship. A guru comes down to the
level of shishya and behaves like a friend. Without any hesitation we
can share our problems with our guru. Our guruji understands us in a
better way than our friends do.
He gives us advice, consoles us and stops us when we go wrong as
a friend does. Often it is seen that a friend betrays the other and even
in the relationship there exist selfishness. But a Guru acts in a
selfless manner and never it has been established that a sathguru has
betrayed a shishya. Friendship is considered as a give and take relation
but in case of Guru-shishya a Guru always pours his grace and the
shishyas can’t do anything in return.So we say our best friend is our
Guruji. |
Our guru as KnowledgeWe
human beings always have a thirst to know about new things. But mere
knowledge cannot give happiness. When you are entangled in an odd
situation you need to know that God is there to save me and will never
let me down. This knowledge is imparted only by a sathguru. So we refer
our guruji as knowledge. A light of knowledge can lit thousands of lamp
same way our guruji has lit our soul which was ignorant in darkness.
Generally it is observed that materialistic knowledge becomes outdated
with new things being invented but a knowledge that a guru imparts is an
eternal one and will come with us for all janmas(births). Guru gives us
the supreme knowledge that we are the children of Lord Krishna and the
goal of our life should be to attain him. One who knows God, knows
everything this is the knowledge a guru gives to shishya. So for us our
guruji is knowledge. |

Our guru as WealthWhat
is wealth? A means by which you can satisfy all your needs. Same way our
guru is a wealth for us. Our strength. Wealth may seem to have a
disadvantage i.e. it reduces each time you use. But guru’s grace is a
wealth that cannot diminish. Wealth can buy only worldly things as it is
said money can buy bed but not sleep. Guru’s grace is a wealth that
can give you peace of mind and happiness which money can’t buy. When
you are in a desert yearning for a drop of water your wealth cannot
bring it but a Guru can bring a downpour even in a desert. Value of
wealth can be measured in terms of dollars or pounds but Guru is
invaluable. People often flaunt about their wealth, our Guru is such a
wealth, which would give inferior complex to others. So why run behind
materialistic wealth? |
Guruji
for us you are everything. Our life is so beautiful just by your grace.
You transcend all the comparisons we have mentioned above. So for us you are no
less than God!!!
Dearest
Guruji this is a small way to express our love for you. We know that this is
nothing in comparison to your grace on us. We all feel very proud and blessed to
be your sishyaas.
