Devotion to Gurudev
The power lies in constant remembrance of the Satguru. This devotion transforms one's life.
Our Gurudev embodied this remembrance, repeating his mantra for eighteen conscious hours daily, even in sleep. Such devotion manifests as an inner light, which I witnessed. True devotees, like Mīrābāī, hold the divine in consciousness until ultimate union. A great blind saint exemplifies the Guru's grace; his profound knowledge came from devotion, not sight. The process is illustrated through the wasp and the worm. The wasp seeks a receptive worm to transform. Disciples exhibit three qualities: the negative one flees, the middling is inconsistent, and the superior one receives the teaching and vibration, ultimately becoming one with the master. Your life becomes successful through this remembrance. Perform your duties, but let your concentration be on the Guru's service. With that focus, you attain prosperity, happiness, and liberation. The divine light awakens in your heart through sincere practice. Do not wander aimlessly. Remembering the Guru crosses life's ocean.
"Satguru ko sumro bhai, terā janam safal ho jai."
"Jo guru sevā meṁ cit lāī, us jamro kā ḍarā nahī."
