How lucky you are that God chose you to be on a spiritual path.

Many people know about love, very few people behave with love.
This is very similar to what Duryodhan says in the Mahabharat. “I know what is dharma but I do not act accordingly. I know what is adharma but I cannot stop myself from acting that way.” People always think that they are the best and others are the problem. But how many people can truly look in the mirror and meet their own eyes without feeling guilty, ashamed, or regretful of the way they have behaved, spoken, or thought? Not many. Because most people allow the negative qualities to grow within them. They feed the wolf within that likes to take one away from love, not the one who takes one to love. Whichever wolf you feed will become powerful and active within you. But does one truly behave with love? This is a question to be asked and answered within yourself every day. “Am I genuinely behaving with love or am I only thinking about love while my actions, words, and thoughts are still stuck in my own greatness?” Sometimes the ones who are acting the most loving on the outside, are also the ones who are most hypocritical inside. They preach to others and point out their faults, but never turn the scalpel of their judgement on themselves. The SatGuru has never given anyone the work of correcting others. He has always given everyone the work of correcting themselves. If you wish to be a leader then lead by example, not by words. And if you wish simply to love, then stop worrying about anything else. Just behave with love in every moment of your life. Such a life will be its own greatest reward, without even counting the infinite closeness one will achieve with Bhagavan through this. Bhagavan is only won over by those who love humbly all the time and serve all joyfully without judgement.

*When one feels far from the Guru*
It is one of the most difficult situations for the disciple when one feels far from the Guru. To go through such a time and still continue to put one foot in front of the other sometimes tests the disciple till the very end of the rope. Because the Guru is the manifestation of happiness in the disciple’s life. He is the source of everything that is good and full of light. When one feels bereft of His companionship, everything loses its color and meaning.
At such time the higher presence of the Guru takes on a completely new meaning for the disciple. His higher presence where He and the disciple are always together and never separated. Just like the soul and God, the atma and the PurnaVyapi Paramatma. They are never separate for even a moment, yet they play the game of living apart to give the world what Bhagavan wishes to give. They remind all that He is never far. He is closer than the breath. He is always present with us.

Many times when the Guru needs to help the disciple to grow, He does things through life. He teaches from within the heart through the circumstances of one’s life. One has to be sensitive towards the inner voice. The Guru helps the disciple to purify the inner voice so that it can start to align with His will, with His Adesh. And one can also accept it naturally and gratefully, rather than fighting it or feeling despair.
However, the process of feeling far from the Guru when He walks the earth is one that squeezes the disciple in every way. All emotions, feelings, thoughts, speech, actions, beliefs are tested because the disciple has one simple choice: to believe in the eternally SarvaVyapi presence of the Guru being the Incarnate Bhagavan Himself, or, to distrust and doubt His omnipresence and feel that He is limited by the physical presence of the human body.

This is the simple choice presented to the disciple. What one chooses to believe is left entirely in that person’s hands. The Guru doesn’t interfere with it because the disciple has to learn to live with the consequences of what one chooses. Life is all about making choices and then accepting with grace the outcomes of the choices made. If at the time of making the choice one is aware that God is always there to pour His love, then those choices become simple. And at the time of facing the outcomes also God is protecting the person.
But often we forget that He is with us and don’t act in surrender to His real nature.

This is the growth. To feel far from the Guru maybe a feeling that comes from deep within and rocks the life of the disciple. But how one chooses to go through that experience makes all the difference in the world. Does one continue to be trapped in the feelings of abandonment, rejection, and lack of love or does one choose to grow and trust in one’s own higher self and the Higher Presence of the Guru.

Bhagavan Krishna showed Draupadi something beautiful. He explains that the Sanskrit word ‘Antar’ has two meanings. One is distance and the other is heart. This means that distance cannot be measured by miles or kilometers , but it is measured by the distance one feels in one’s heart.
How far or close do you perceive the Guru to be. How much love do you feel for the Guru and how much love do you experience from Him in every moment. This determines the distance between the two…. How incredible!

Glories be to the Guru who is closer than the very breath itself

*Verse 170 of the Guru Gita:*
Śarīram indriyaṁ prāṇāś
cārthaḥ svajanabāndhavāḥ
Mātā pitā kulaṁ devi
gurureva na saṁśayaḥ

Here Bhagavan Shankar explains that once you meet your Satguru, your Satguru becomes everything to you. The Satguru becomes the mother, the father, the family. The Satguru Himself becomes your own body. The Satguru Himself becomes your breath, and your senses. You have to perceive that the Guru is indeed the One who is fully inside of you

[Swami Vishwananda @vishwananda]
