Firm belief in Sadguru removes sorrow (Tamil) ~ 20 July 2014

Recollecting another Tamil MMS

Assure yourself to keep firm belief with Sadguru.
Katha Sagar Vol II.
One must serve the Guru with a sense of dedication in thought, word and deed. Without any doubts and distractions. To those who have firm faith in the Guru that “everything belongs to him” will be blessed by Guru’s grace.
Sadguru Sookti Sangraha:
“Guru’s Grace, and self effort, are the two requisites for progress on the spiritual path. There is no such thing, that today Guru’s Grace is there, and tomorrow it is not there. On the other hand, it is the unwanted chain of thoughts which blur the inner vision of the devotee, (clouding the ability), to feel Guru’s Grace.”Therefore, a devotee should relentlessly try to remove all unwanted thoughts by engaging himself in spiritual discipline, (saadhana), and remain assured that Guru’s Grace is always there”
Dr. Rao’s speech Guru Purnima Celebrations, July 22, 2013; Chicago.
All of us are involved in multitude of activities in family, and in world of work; we are bound to face numerous worries. We are certain to encounter difficulties, losses, hardships, and adversities. We are likely to be perturbed, troubled, and stressed. Many times they overwhelm you, not able to get out of the whirlwind of sorrows. They swamp you and make you disheartened. We also know that Sri Swamiji came to the rescue, dispelled the hardships, guided you to the other side of the shore, ousted the barriers, lifted the mountain of problems and brought sanity to our lives. It is time to remember Sri Swamiji on this Guru Purnima, all the wonders of our holy master and how the dark clouds in our lives were dispersed.

The concept of Sadguru is impossible to adequately describe and explain. Firm faith in Sadguru develops only through personal experiences. Any number of visits, books and lectures will not convey the bliss and the essence of those experiences to another. It is an individual, customized relationship with God who descends in a perceivable form and makes an intimate connection heart-to-heart.
Pujya Sadgurdeva, Thank You for this message, which is very reassuring and comforting. May we always have firm faith and belief in only You. Remembering and thanking Sadgurudeva for all that happens to us is the best way to overcome any grief. This is because, HH does only what is best for us.
Guru padamu Guru padamu Guru Datta padamu maku saranam !!
Sivaya Guruve Namaha!! Sri Guru Datta!! Om Namo Hanumate Namaha!!
