Well, the word guru means Gu means darkness.
-
Room means dispelling.
-
One who dispels your darkness is guru.
-
That means you walked in this light.
-
The led light is your guru because it dispels your darkness physically.
-
Right now you can see things the way they are because there is light.
-
So other dimensions of life for which you can't turn on a torchlight.
-
Alright, you blight or led light there.
-
You need a different kind of light for subjective dimensions of your life where you can't put on an outside light, you need some kind of light.
-
So whatever opens up the dimension for you.
-
That's your guru.
-
Why is that a four letter word?
-
Because it's four letters, you know, lately on the internet, I seem to see a lot of gurus popping up from different places.
-
And sometimes I don't know if they're gonna dispel me from the darkness.
-
Um, is this a phenomenon of social media?
-
Where e.
-
I call it a four letter word because of the many ugly ways in which it is being used today.
-
Okay.
-
Incorrectly.
-
So I wouldn't say incorrect.
-
I would say ugly.
-
Okay.
-
See you.
-
You don't know the question that you're asking is, how do I know somebody is really a guru or somebody is just going to me Take me into more darkness?
-
The simple thing is this.
-
You never believe what people say.
-
Just look at them how they are.
-
Has it worked for the guy who's talking about it?
-
If you think it's worked for him, please listen to him.
-
If you think it's not worked for him, don't worry.
-
Even if he's talking with the biggest things, there's no point because it's not worked for that guy.
-
What's the point that simple it is In India, there's a long history and tradition of gurus.
-
Yes, we have seen some absolutely fantastic gurus out there in the tradition.
-
Not one or two, many thousands, but because we have bean onda serious innovations.
-
For over 1000 years, we've been unoccupied nation for 1000 years, where systematically people try toe, destroy the spiritual culture on the thoughts of that nation.
-
Because India is a nation.
-
If you look at it culturally as the mechanics of any making off a nation is the sameness, sameness of language, sameness of religion, sameness of race, sameness of ethnicity is something like this Some sameness right now.
-
Why you want Brexit?
-
Because they're all speaking different languages there different culture, different everything.
-
We're English.
-
It's the sameness always.
-
But India as a nation is a nation which is completely defied.
-
The definition.
-
We have 1300 languages and die elects in the country every 50 kilometers, 100 kilometers.
-
If you drive.
-
People look different.
-
Dress different, eat different.
-
Everything different if you walk into any home there.
-
Five people five people were worshiping with five different gods and goddesses of their own.
-
But still there is no issue because this was the land of seeking.
-
Seeking was the connecting thread for us that everybody is a seeker, not a believer.
-
It's the fundamental nature off the culture that you're supposed to seek.
-
You don't believe what is written somewhere.
-
You don't believe what some guru said.
-
What?
-
Some great somebody who claim to be a god said or a messenger said you always seek.
-
You use all of them as help to seek more profoundly.
-
So guru is there not to give you a commandment, but only to assist you to seek you're seeking.
-
But maybe you're seeking is not incisive enough.
-
So a guru gives you close to seek little more effectively.
-
But he never give you a commandment.
-
So there is really no danger from him because he is not giving you commandments.
-
The moment he gives you commandments, he is claiming to be God.
-
So if you're eager to goto heaven right away, first thing is you must die.
-
All right.
-
You seek a guru because you want your seeking to be more effective.
-
Not because you're seeking an answer.
-
Um, mhm e.
