GURU

Here is what I have to say about being with a Guru:

It is nothing like you can possibly imagine.  The Guru is the one who takes you beyond the mind, who kneads you and stretches you. She pushes the limits of your consciousness.  So how could you imagine?

I believe that everyone's path to enlightenment is different.  And every disciple and devotee's relationship with the Guru will be unique.  But no matter what form it takes, its all directed towards bringing you to your own Self Realization.  And how she's going to do it...well, you don't really have a say!  But it seems to me that it takes the most backward and strangely perfect route...made just for you.

I believe that true cave is in the heart, and and that the true yogis reside continuously in the cave. You can't just decide one day, okay, im going to live in a cave and be enlightened.  Its a process, a long and winding journey.  Sometimes you will romp joyously through the meadows.  Sometimes you want to just curl in a ball under a tree and cry.  The Guru, the Master, is the one who can guide you on the journey.

I believe that being around Saints is so powerful because they reside in pure love, in a reality that is Divine. And they relate to us as Divine.  They are in constant communication with the Divine Soul. They talk to our True Self.  The Self that is ever pure, whole, and perfect.  Untainted.  True.  Beautiful. 
Krishna plays his flute and lures the Gopis into the forest.  The snake charmers play the flute and the snake out of their our coil.   Likewise, Gurus sing the song of pure consciousness and wake us up.

We will wake up.  And we will become living, breathing, moving expressions of Divine Harmony, allowing the Song of Nature, the tune of the Guru, to flow through us.  That is the Bhagavad Gita. The Song of God.  There is no moment that is not part of Nature's Song.  There is no breath that it is not part of Divine Creation. 

Om Aim Hrim Klim Camundayai Vicce.

The Universe is constantly changing.  May we live in constant harmony with the cosmic dance.

Jai Maa.
