Holy Gurujis Mahasamadhi Celebration (2/3)
The grace of the Guru is the supreme blessing for human life.
Human life is momentary and difficult to attain. Its true purpose is to attain self-knowledge and liberation. Without a true Guru, life is wasted in criticism and fault-finding. The habit of seeing lack in others must be surrendered at the Guru's feet. The Guru alone can purify the soul and grant liberation. Meeting a true Guru fulfills human life. Taking refuge with selfless devotion invites this grace.
"In this world, there is no other means equal to knowledge for purifying the soul."
"The Guru will not come to you. The thirsty person must go to the well."
