Grace of God and Guru

People from various faiths have experienced God’s Grace and how it has changed their lives, their relationship with God, and in becoming a better human being.

A seeker was not able to do the spiritual practice with concentration, love, and devotion to God and that caused lots of frustration to the seeker.

One day in a prayer, having a straight-talk with God, the seeker expressed the frustration of not doing the daily practice and living with old negative and bad habits, said to God,

“I am your child, think of me as your little baby – when baby is hungry, baby gets the milk from the mother; when the baby is not able to walk, father holds baby’s hand and helps the baby walk – God, I am hungry for your love, you already know this – I don’t need to ask for your love. I have failed as an adult in trying to be a better human being, so I surrender my knowledge, my intellect, and mind to you. You are merciful, with your grace my life can be transformed”

After a few minutes of crying, talking, the seeker heard, “From now on imagine that your Guru is doing the practice holding your hand, your Guru is doing the devotion, and your Guru is with you every moment”

With that the seeker’s began to experience Grace of God and Guru in a profound way.

Many Gurus, Saints, and Spiritual Masters have shared these kinds of words of wisdom about doing prayer, having a straight-talk with God, surrendering to Lord, etc. They say that any seeker can experience peace, contentment, and love of God.

Guru shows us the path. A humble Guru says that God is Supreme Guru.

Instead of trying to trying to improve our lives, trying to do devotion with concentration, trying to follow Guru – why not hold Guru’s hand and let our life be transformed and be led to God in a much easier way. If a person does not have Sadguru in his or her life then ask God, The Supreme Guru and pray for a Sadguru or a preceptor who can guide us all the way to God.

Ek galati phir ho gai – Made a blunder

Hamare Gurujan kahte hain ki  kisi ko sukh nahin de sakte tau un ko dukh bhi mat do.

(Our Gurujans say that if you can’t give someone happiness, do not give them grief or pain).

Kal yahi galati hui mujh se.  Ek aadmi ne mujhe jiske jeevan main bahut saari dukh dene wali baate hui, woh mujhe apni dukh bhari kahani sunaane lag gaya.  Meri  galati: Maine uss ki kahani dhyan se sunane ke bajaye ussko karm ke baare main batan shuru kar diya, jis se ussko aur bhi dukh hua.  Mere Ram,Wisdom mujhe ksham karo.  Mujhe baar baar Gurujano ke anmol vachan yaad dilayo aur unko jeevan main utarane ki shakti aur buddhi do.

(Yesterday one man who was going through lots of emotional pain due to several things going wrong all at once, started to share with me his problems.  I made a blunder: instead of listening to his problems and having compassion for his pain, I started to tell him about karma.  That seem to cause him more pain.  Mere Ram, forgive me.  Remind me again and again about the invaluable, pearls of wisdom of our Gurujans and give me the wisdom and strength to live by them in my life).
