Sadguru as a mirror reflects your inner personality ~ 13 Apr 2013

Jaya Guru Datta! Help me continue to purify my mind and intellect enough to become what you see in me and to become a reflection of the divine in others as you are of the divine in all of us, Sri Guru Datta!

Jaya Guru Datta,
thank You so much for being there, while I am “training” to give up and know You are taking over. Still I am failing and need Your guidance and happy as a child I am receiving MMS daily!
My heart belongs to You.
Humble prostration to Your lotus feet.
Sri Guru Datta

JAYA GURU DATTA,
GURU DEVA,WITH YOUR BLESSINGS MAO LOTUS FEET OF SATH GURU DEVAKE US TO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOU, FOLLOW YOUR WORDS, SERVING YOU UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH.
SATHA KOTI PRANAMAS TO LOTUS FEET OF SATH GURU DEVA.
SRI GURU DATTA

By seeing today’s MMS 318, according to me the importance of following a Sadguru is very much needed for everybody , especially in this Kaliyuga . The Bhajan is very apt to this MSG since we pray to Mother Goddess ( Sri) to protect us through out our life time and also protect us from not developing ego. Here again our mind is the root cause for our every action and feelings. Therefore controlling our mind is the only solution to prevent us from developing ego. But it is not so easy for which we have to follow our Sadguru and develop our spiritual knowledge. When we follow Him, He will always reflect from our inner self and guide us in the right path and also guide us in our every action of what is correct and wrong. According to me here again, we should have a good faith in our Guru and not only that we should try to register our name in His heart. To register name in His heart is also not so easy for which as a devotee we have to follow his words and teachings and obey His command with out a second thought.Thank You Appaji to give such a nice MSG and always follow You and thereby please reflect in our inner self and guide us every now and then to control our mind and not to develop any ego also.

జయ గురుదత్త! శ్రీ గురుదత్త! ఓం నమో హనుమతే నమః!
ఓం కాళికామ్బాయై నమః!
సచ్చిదానంద రూపాయ వ్యాపినే పరమాత్మనే I
నమ శ్రీ గురునాథాయ ప్రకాశానంద మూర్తయె II
శ్రీ గురుదేవుల పాదపద్మములకు అనంతకోటి ప్రణామములు.
ఓం శ్రీ సద్గురుభ్యో నమః!

Jaya Guru Datta. Pranam Appaji.
You are the one who can help us in our life and show us the right path for us to go.. 🙂
Thanks a lot Appaji.

Thank You Swamiji for showing us the way to getting closer to Your Lotus Feet. By reflecting our state of mind, You show us You understand us more than we could ever understand ourselves. As the Divine Mother, You understand the various states of our mind better than a biological mother can. I remember reading an experience of a devotee on puttugam.com where the devotee was relating her friend’s sorrows to get blessings for the friend. As the devotee began crying, Sri Swamiji began crying too. The state of purity and compassion in Sri Swamiji is not something we humans can possibly fathom. And because the human mind is so limited, we attribute our inner feelings to You thinking You are angry, or You are irritated or You are happy. You are Sat-Chit-Ananda, always in a state of bliss. Sathgurudeva, Lord Shiva, obeisances to Your Holy Lotus Feet!

Jai Guru Datta, Pranam Sadguru. You are my Mother Shakti, you are my guiding light. Please continue to help me tread the right path. Sri Guru Datta.

Jai Guru Datta, Appaji. You reflect our ills and make us realize our follies, giving us an opportunity to correct and follow You further. Pranams and very happy to be in this divine journey with the Lotus Feet. Sri Guru Datta.

A mirror only reflects our physical body. It does not show us our inner thoughts and feelings, our hidden past, our shameful sins, our negative thoughts, or our nature which is less than perfect. It does not see them. It does not show them. Nor do our close friends and relatives. They know only the things that we choose to share with them. We alone know our deeply hidden secrets, or so we believe. There is one other entity in this world from whom we cannot hide anything. That is our Sadguru. There is no need for words, diaries, or autobiographies to reveal to him our past or our present good or bad thoughts and actions. He knows not only every single detail of this lifetime of ours, but also has a crystal clear picture of all our past lifetimes, our deepest secrets, and our carefully concealed negative traits. He sees them all. He shows them all to us, whether we have the boldness to acknowledge them or not. He does not stop there, like a mirror, that does not hesitate to show us our scars and physical stains. Like a loving mother cleans her infant child without showing any disgust, distaste, or aversion, He cleans us of all our accumulated filth over the past countless lifetimes. He cleans out past karmas by engaging us in worthy activities, cleans our present mindset through repeated teachings, and patiently regulates our every thought, word, and action going to extreme lengths, Himself setting us a perfect example. There are no words to describe the level of His compassion and the inexhaustible tenacity with which he handles His self-imposed responsibility to save the souls of his dear devotees. Jaya Guru Datta
