The last words of Holy Guruji

A recounting of a spiritual teacher's final teaching, focusing on fearlessness and the nature of a Guru.

"The one who takes blessings from the Gurū becomes a Gurū; who realizes he is a Gurū, he himself becomes a Gurū."

"Utilize the time now; so what will happen will happen... Unnecessarily you are suffering; you are suffering ahead already."

The narrator shares the last words of Gurujī, which present two perspectives on becoming a Guru and advise against fear. This is illustrated with a story where Mahatma Gandhi, facing a potential train accident, chooses to work productively rather than succumb to panic. The core message is to avoid preemptive suffering by not worrying about the future.

These were the last words of Gurujī in this world. The one who takes blessings from the Gurū becomes a Gurū; who realizes he is a Gurū, he himself becomes a Gurū. Salt cannot become sugar, and sugar cannot become salt. Therefore, don't be scared about anything; what will happen will happen even if you are scared. There is a nice story about Mahātmā Gandhījī. Gandhījī was traveling by train in eastern India. The train was going into the mountains. Gandhījī always had with him a person who was writing everything down, whether Gandhījī was dictating or writing himself. What happened was that two wagons, the front wagons from the locomotive, separated. Half of the train is going forward, and half of the wagons are going back because it was going down from the mountain. Gandhījī said to his secretary, "Okay, take the book, and we shall write something." The secretary said, "But you know, Gandhījī, we are going to die. You don't know what will happen." Gandhījī replied, "We will see after; why should we lose the time? We should write. Utilize the time now; so what will happen will happen. If we are sitting and holding the train and saying, 'Oh, we will die, we will die,' that is a loss of time. Unnecessarily you are suffering; you are suffering ahead already. If we get caught in the train and we scream, 'Oh, we will die, we will die,' what is the point of this? We can do something good with it." Therefore, Gurujī said, "Your true pride, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, ... don't worry." Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
