Sadguru purifies the mind of the ignorant ~ 22 Aug 2012

I am not sure, that I have this video really. But I think, here is the declaration, that the Guru is helping without make problems of the ignorant to his own problems. That is something which Swamiji said to me once, when I tried to help at some people too much. Helping is important, but I must stay independent. And this I had to learn, because I created big problems. I am therapeut and work with people which have big problems. It is very very important to have some distance to them.

JGDH Puttuji! Appaji has always stressed the importance of a Sadguru in one’s life on every Guru Purnima!!! He has extolled role of Sage Vasista as Sri Rama’s Guru, Maharishi Sandeepa as Sri Krishna’s Guru, explaining to us how Sadguru’s role helps in molding the personality!! Verse 33 of Guru Gita speaks of this – The first syllable “GU” belongs to the three Gunas which are the cause of illusion. The second one “RU” stands for the “Parabrahma” that destroys the delusion caused by illusion.”

I humbly bow to my Sadguru and seek His Blessings to help me to become more detached and imbibe the “water on lotus leaf” characteristic!!!

Thank you Appaji for this very very meaningful Video!!! JGDH!!!

JGD Appaji – As water, fire, air is pure as given by nature please clean our mind so that there should not be any negative/bad thinking – SGD

Jaya Guru Datta
Water in the video has a tranquil effect.
It is our Karma phala that we have Appaji as our Guru. Who gives at all times and takes nothing from us. We, in return, should work hard to make this life worthy, with pure heart and mind.
Bless us Appaji. We are forever indebted to your cause.
Sree Guru Datta

Jai guru datta
We are so lucky we ignorants are purified by sadgurus grace please bless us always to be pure and serve your mission
Sri guru datta

Jaya Guru Datta Puttuji,
Thank you for this beautiful description of Sadguru, who is Parabrahman Himself, the purest ever.
Water dissolves dirt and gets polluted. Air picks up bad smells and carries them. But fire purifies all without ever getting contaminated. Sadguru is such Fire. He is also like space that remains untouched by whatever may pass through it, although, we do not hear of space having any cleansing properties associated with it. In today’s lecture during the Ayur-Nada Conference, Smt. Gayatri, the Chemistry expert told us that the fine ash that remains at the end of incineration is weightless. Such is the power of Fire that it reduces to nothing the substances that it purifies. Sadguru does not take upon Himself the sins or the impurities or ignorance of the devotees, He simply reduces them to nothing. Hence He remains absolutely pure. We all hope that by His compassionate efforts we all become absolutely pure and merge in Him. Sri Guru Datta.

Oh Sadgurudeva, when I look back on how ignorant and polluted my mind was before surrendering to you, I am so amazed and grateful for the clean up. Your work is meticulous and mysterious, the experience of being cleaned is sometimes painful , sometimes subtle, always powerful and uplifting in the end. I pray that you keep cleaning up the filth I have accumulated and I will do my best to stay clean! Thank you for accepting me despite all my faults, Appaji. I love you.
Jai Guru Datta. Om namo Hanumate namaha.

Jaya Guru Datta –
I recall Appaji’s discourses where His Holiness used to say about this.
Fire cannot be burnt. There is no fire to burn agni. Anything getting into Agni will get purified, transformed and/or revitalized. But, nothing will burn fire ever – that is because burning is fire’s property. swabhava dharma – Sadguru is like Agni. similar to the fire and nature of fire – Sadguru is purity Himself. Anything getting into/with/close to Sadguru will only get pure and purer – but Sadguru will never get impure. As purity is Sadguru’s property – own – swabhaava dharma – nothing can ever take out that property from Him and in stead, anything that gets in contact with Him will get pure and purer. Thank You Appaji for a very eloquent message with a great visual. Sri Guru Datta

Jaya Guru Datta!
How is development possible? It needs a thorough purification. A replacement of old and impure believe systems. Powerful knowledge. And so much more we have no idea about. Yet all this is given to us by Sadgurudeva alone. He supports us in all these processes. He guides us to obtain more and more freedom.
Thank You so much, Sri Swamiji!
Sri Guru Datta
Om Sri Krisnaya Namah
Om Namo Hanumate Namah

Jai Guru Datta Sri Swamiji! Thank You for this lovely message!
Thank You for Your Love and Compassion and for providing so many spiritual practices for purification. It is empowering to one’s being. Through Your Love, we are able to change the
patterns of our thinking and reach our highest potential as instruments of the divine. Sri Guru Datta!
Love & Gratitude Always, Vishali

JGD. I remember that Sadguru is without desires as such all of His actions result with no karma and so He is ever pure. Please continue with Your cleaning of us, Your devotees, my dear Lord.

May Sadguru’s will be done.

JGD.

it is said, As above so below… Please make us strong enough like you to help change the world…. Bridges must be strong…. How can a bridge be a bridege if it is capable of collapsing in the middle or cannot weather a storm?
Bridges are planted with equal footing into both sides of the river .. usually the poorest live at the base of the btidge. Your bridge of divine music coaxes one to proceed
Your bridge is strong…Hanuman was a strong bridge…
Was he not a monkeyman and a god using the thought of bakti and RAMA mantra?
Also, the poorest of society live at the base of the bridge.
This i observe here…
can there be an anolgy of the poorest of spirituality>
Please make me a strong bridge Swamiji, like yourself…. JGD

Jai Guru Datta Swamiji..That is sooo true!!!

Jaya Guru Datta,
Sadguru can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. HE is like fire, HE never gets attached to anything. HE is the ‘purest’ form of everything. In today’s terminology HE is the ‘Master Copy’/’Original’ for everything, we need to turn for anything.
Om Sri Sadgurubhyo Namaha!

We are often told that we become like the company we keep. It’s true! Our parents have always asked us to keep good company when we were growing up. While all of us humans are influenced and shaped by our company, the creator is far removed from such influences. God, who is a witness to everything, often takes on a physical body to help us, His children guide and navigate the ocean of samsara. When God assumes a physical form, He is known as Guru.
In the process of guiding us, the Guru dispels our doubts, removes our ignorance by giving us knowledge, shows us the way to happiness and slowly and steadily turns our mind towards Godhead. But, the Guru is always unblemished, untainted, uncorrupted. Imagine the millions of people that have come in to contact with Sri Swamiji in the 70 years. In the midst of this ocean of ignorance surrounding Him, Sri Swamiji is the calm, tranquil, steady source of knowledge and joy Who gives as much as we can receive. In fact, thousands and thousands of lives have been transformed with His grace. Who can remain untainted, but elevate the entire population, cities, states and countries around Him? Only the Sadguru! Obeisances to the Lotus Feet of the Sadguru!

Jaya Guru Hanuman, Thank you for the beautiful message Swamiji. If we can look at the five elements then we can understand how Guru purifies us and how nothing affects him in the process. Below are excerpts from the teachings of Datta’s 24 gurus:

Air – Air is pure and odorless in itself. It is unaffected by the smell or heat/cold of its surroundings. Similarly Guru is untouched by the dualities like joy/sorrow, pain/pleasure, heat/cold etc. and unpolluted by good/bad people around.

Fire – Just as fire’s purity is not affected by putting any material in it, similarly Guru is not affected by the offerings from others. He burns down the sins of others. Fire provides light similarly Guru shows the path of dharma for others to walk on.

Sky – The air, stars, sun, moon, clouds etc. are all contained in the sky but the sky does not come in contact with any of them. Similarly Guru though is one among the movable and immovable objects, sees himself as Brahaman and is always immersed in Brahma.

Sun – Sun evaporates water with its rays and returns it to earth as rain. Similarly Guru can accept material things with his senses and at the apppropriate time gives them to the proper person. Sun and Guru are never entangled by this.

Water – Just as pure water cleanses others, so also Guru cleans the entire humanity from selfishness, lust, ego, anger, greed, jealousy etc. with his love, affection, sweet talk and pure touch.

Humble prostrations to the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji who like panchabhootas purifies and uplifts us.

Om namo hanumate namaha

JAYA GURU DATTA
words not enough to explain the glory of SADGURU. He purifies the mind and gives good thoughts for his devotees good future.

Jaya Guru Datta Puttuji !!! OM NAMO HANUMATE NAMAH !!! Sree Guru Datta !!!

Jai Guru Datta.
How lucky we are that our Sadguru is constantly purifying His devotees even without our knowledge. His grace, His tolerance, His compassion I can’t imagine. Sri Sadguru Maharaj Ki Jai!

Jaya Guru Dutta! Over the last few years, I have experienced this purification process. My understanding of how Sri Swamiji does this is as Puttuji so rightly explained, is from within me. First it was the heightened sense of consciousness and the resultant higher sense of discretion. Next is the analysis that scrutinises every thought, word and action. It feels like I’m actually doing everything in Sri Swamiji’s presence. As I feel it, the purification process is inside out, and it is from an absolutely pure point, driving the impurities to the outer side. So, it is impossible for impurities to get into the source of my purification, which is Sri Swamiji. I have actually once told Sri Swamiji that Sri Swamiji is very strict inside me when compared to instances when I am in Sri Swamiji’s physical presence. Sri Swamiji laughed when I said this.

If I look back at my life, I can recognize what my guru has done for me. Also like His Knowledge in my life works I can recognize only in the review and I can recognize the mercy He has given to me. Jaya Guru Datta

Das ist doch, was wir mit DIR, geliebter SWAMIJI erleben: DU gibst uns die Sicherheit, dass wir, wo immer wir auch stehen, von DIR angenommen sind. DU hilfst uns, indem DU auf vielfältige Weise unsern Mind reinigst und nicht auf unser Tun reagierst, indem DU Fortschritt belohnst oder über Versagen enttäuscht bist.
Ich danke DIR für DEINE Liebe.
