Guru Vaani
Darkness and Light
Would you believe that in this day and age we willingly move towards darkness? But why would someone want more darkness? ‘Not me’, you would think. But to really answer that you need to know what darkness is. Here’s shedding some light on the subject.
Guru-shishya relationship is the basis of Yog. Guru alone can give you the gyan and create awakening inside you. And, there is only one Guru and he/she has to be in body. Even Ram and Krishna made a Guru when they took birth on earth...
Who is a Guru?
Why does the Guru have to be in body?
Why can you not have two or more Gurus?
How does one find his/her Guru?
Every Dev or Devi is a sanchalak (driving force) of a Shakti which controls a specific aspect of creation and represents a level of balance or santulan.
Creation is in balance and we cannot say that there is only one balance in Creation, balance exists at various levels. The purpose of yog is to bring various imbalances within and around you into a state of balance, from vikriti to prakriti. When you bring about a balance in some aspect of you, you take the first step in yog. Yogis, however, create an imbalance within themselves voluntarily...
Why do yogis create imbalances within themselves? And, why do people suffer from imbalances in the form of pain and trouble if the creation is in balance? And how does one channelise the Shakti of Devs & Devis to restore the balance within?
If you look outside the window of a plane, no matter where you are in the world, you will find hundreds of buildings and skyscrapers as the plane takes off. As it goes higher, the buildings and skyscrapers becomes smaller and smaller, and slowly they turn into millions of lights which are actually homes of people.
It is so interesting that when you access deeper stages of yoga and start experiencing past lives, you realise that the soul jumps from one life to other, from one building to another, from one country to the other and this goes on and on in a cyclical manner. And every time the soul takes birth in a new home, it assumes it to be the ultimate and embarks on a journey of physical success, and gets caught in a spiral of pain and devolution. The question then arises, what binds the soul to this birth again and again and what would make the soul free from this bondage?
Asurs were face to face previously, now they are in our minds. Understand how modifications of the mind, vrittis play a role in our lives and how withdrawal of vrittis leads to yoga and spiritual evolution.
Spiritual practices given by a Guru have to be done following a niyam or routine. Breaking the practice is equivalent to doing traitorship with the practice which only a Guru can forgive.
