IMPORTANCE OF GURU DEEKSHA

Our Indian culture suggested that everyone has to worship the almighty, which guide us on the right track and get rid us from sorrow and misery. By enchanting the name of God, one can spend his life happily without any conceptions, as by chanting the name of God will cut off your negative deeds and fills your life with the positive energy.

For this one should have to choose one ISHT DEVTA (God) whom you can worship each and every day. We can also take Guru Deeksha (from a saint / disciple) which is also a name or Mantra (Hymn) of God. 

Ancient scriptures signifies that:

The power of Hymn will be more if we take the Guru Deeksha from a Holy Saint, however we can also choose a God of our choice, but progress as compared will be less. Because, there is enormous positive energy (due to Guru’s bhakti & devotion) behind the Mantra (Hymn) provided by a Guru.

So during the life time one has to take Guru Deeksha to improve fast on the basic goal of our life.

GURU (Master) & GOD.....Contd.

As stated in earlier blog, The Guru (Master) is a Bridge between the Humans and the Holy God.

Guru directs his disciple to the correct path which leads him to the God. At each & every forward step, hurdles of different types will arise, but at the same time, without losing his patience, he has to move forward as per the Master’s guidance.

It is the prime responsibility of the Guru, to help his follower by directing his disciple to  pass successfully through the tough phases of life.

Consider the diagram below:-

EXPLANATION:- 
At one end, a Living Being is waiting to meet the God at the other end. In between both of them, there is a life span of 60-70 years in this materialistic world, which is full of mean & selfish people. The overall span of life covers with the outcome the positive & negative deeds credited in their account.

When the living being (human) starts to move forward towards the God, he will be surrounded by the 5 Basic Enemies of Life, viz. Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment & Ego which further blocks the way out to reach God.

At that instance, the role of Guru (Master) starts, which guides the disciple from time to time throughout the life. The Master even accelerates the electrons of the individual, so that he can ignore the materialistic world and get rid off the life cycle of birth & death.

That’s why, our ancient sages said in their scriptures:-

A GURU (MASTER) THROUGHOUT THE LIFE IS COMPULSORY FOR ALL.

GURU (Master) & GOD

No one will disagree from the fact that, Mother is the first teacher/ master since from their childhood. Later on, this place was succeed by school teachers, guardians like grandparents, uncle, aunts etc. for physical & mental growth.

But for a successful spiritual life, one have to choose a Spiritual Guru (Master) for achieve the main aim of life. Selecting a Guru (Master) in one’s life is very important in comparison to choose other things friends, spouse, etc. because only Guru is the person who has the power to direct his learner to the correct path.

Guru, by directing his student to the correct path, provides the momentum to the body’s inner soul which further enhances the strength & power of the individual. He acts as a messenger between the individual & the god and has the capability to represent the correct figure, values of the almighty.

“Most of the people consider their Mentor (Guru) as God, which is completely wrong but a Guru can act as a BRIDGE which connects the individual to the God.”

However, the prime duties of a True or Real Guru (Master) have the very basic responsibilities which are as follows:-

1.) He can describe about the holiness of the God, the supreme creator of the world.

2.) What is the basic reason of life cycle of birth & death and how to get rid of it.

3.) He can teach about the effects of Good & Bad Deeds (Karma).

4.) Necessity of Salvation and how to attain it, etc.
