Holy Guruji's Anniversary
Devotion is enshrined in knowledge; its value never diminishes.
Devotion enshrined in knowledge never diminishes, like gold broken into pieces retaining its worth. The presence of the great masters continues; their power moves forward, and you must receive the samskara they gave. A saint never comes or goes; the self is unborn, eternal, immortal—neither born nor dying at any time. The flame lit by the Divine is now illuminating the whole world through the guru lineage. Human birth on this land of sages and tapas is rare and precious. To have the darshan of saints in this land is a rare attainment, a great fortune. Without saints, the world would perish; their grace sustains all life. The garland offered is not of flowers but of purified minds, offered as light to the divine. Sanatana Dharma is the root of all paths; do not create divisions. The entire human race belongs to this eternal way; conspiracies may try to mislead, but truth remains. To kill one human is to kill all humanity—so teach the scriptures. Yet many do not read their own books, remaining ignorant of the wisdom within. True protection lies in living the eternal way, understanding one's own self. This small village has become a holy place, a saintly city known across the world. You are greatly fortunate to witness this gathering of saints, which is a rare fortune awakening the soul. Receive the blessings, offer your mind in devotion, and rest in the silence of the self.
"Break gold into a thousand pieces, its worth remains unchanged."
"Na jāyate, mriyate vā kadācin, nāyaṁ bhūtvā, bhavitā vā na bhuyaḥ."
