The Divine Dust of Grace
The spiritual lineage and the supreme refuge of the Guru's grace are expounded. India is the holy land and cradle of spirituality from which this wisdom originates. The divine paramparā flows from the Himalayan siddha Śrī Alakapurījī to Śrī Devapurījī and Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, culminating in the present Satguru. The individual soul is bound in a cycle of action and reaction, birth and death. Liberation from this cycle is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is Brahma jñāna, the realization of oneness, which is attained solely through the Guru's grace. The Guru is the boat to cross the worldly ocean and the very ocean of consciousness into which the individual wave must merge. Practice your dharma, for dharma protects those who protect it. Seek not mukti, but the divine dust of the Guru's holy feet.
"One in all and all in one."
"I beg for the divine dust of your holy feet. I don’t wish for mukti, for mokṣa, because mukti itself is a servant of Gurudeva’s feet."
