GURU- A Master
‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means ‘light’, thus become Guru, the one who brings light in our dark life. One can be very rich, can have multiple, and fabulous lighting system all around in his home, but are we talking about this light! Even a poor person can have light of laaltein or Deepak, so what’s that light we are talking about.
To understand this light, first we need to understand the other aspect the darkness. I want to ask here, ‘what is darkness’. “Have you ever thought that our life is full of darkness, We have to come out of it, have you ever!”
Darkness means unconsciousness, unawareness. The one who doesn’t know about his own true self, the one who is unaware of his core being, that is called ‘darkness’.
Have you seen animals, they take birth as a brutal and live whole life as a brutal and then one day die. Do they have any scope to know about their conscious being, no but man has a wide scope to explore this mystry, to explore ‘who am I’, what is the power through which this body works, what is that power!
Our body is like an electronic appliance and the spirit within us is like electricity power. We people are always concerned with the appliance but we have never thought of the electricity through which this body is working. ‘Guru’ is one who makes us aware that you are not this body, you are not this mind, neither this intellect nor these senses, but you are the divine one.
But one must be thinking that ‘we are divine’ this statement has been given by many saints since ages, this statement can be read in ancient Vedas & scriptures as well, so what’s new if a Guru is saying the same thing.
Through scriptures or Vedas, we can just read them, we can try to put them in our intellect but they would remain mere statements, they does not provoke us to work on ourself. But when we listen to them through a Guru, through a Master, then we realize the true essence, of those statements given in scriptures and Vedas.
There would remain darkness until and unless we have no source of light.
There was an incident, a husband and wife was very confused, they were very upset about the darkness in their house, they went to a fakir(a saint) to ask what should we do to bring that ghost of darkness out from the house. We had put water, we tried to beat him with sticks, but it is there as before.
The fakir said ‘you want to send darkness out’, the couple answered ‘yes’. The fakir said ‘no need for such hard efforts, just lit a lamp, and darkness will be gone on its own.
As in this story there is a fakir, same way there is a need of a Guru, a Master who can give us the trick to remove the darkness of ignorance from our lives. We people can come out of this darkness (ignorance) when we can let the lamp of knowledge in our lives, and only a guru can give us the trick.
