All karma hasits inception in a thought. Each thought owes its genesis to an emotion, which we refer to as ‘Bhav’ in Sanskrit.
This ‘bhav’ is the basal emotion upon which we foster faith, thereby facilitating devotion. And through devotion, a soul having acquired a physical body in this worldcan manifest dreams and visions from the realm of perception and theory, into tangible actuality. Devotion when infused with rectitude and sanctity of deeds, beliefs, feelings, reasoning, &coupled with self-introspection that is meant to signify and usher in an age ofspiritual awakening, shall become the reason for a paradigm shift in terms of revolutionizingobsolete notions, primitive ideologies, outmoded thinking, whereby transforming archaic social dogmas prevalent in a country to enable evolution of not just the outward but also the inner being, the Atman.
A soul giving up its identification with physical matter, loosing all egocentric karma, which are merely aimed at materialistic propensities of accumulation, accretion, and selfish amassment is said to be truly devoted in faith. Karmic effectuation initiated by these self-realized super-souls, gets categorized as ‘Nishkam’ or selfless karma, as it is performed for the greater good of mankind.
Once every epoch, comes along a rare phenomenon, whose innate essence is indistinguishable from the cosmos. With spiritual radiance that illuminates lives of every person they touch, a Sat-Guru takes on multiple roles of a teacher, mentor, guide, guardian, friend, psychologist, counsellor, and even a healer to sort out our exigent earthly issues, through which allowing usfocus to at awakeningthedormant thirst for the sacred inner questand consequently connecting us with the ‘Paramatma’ within. Their outer-self is a medium for providing impetus to the flow of Universal consciousness in a streamlined manner, so as to nurture and nourish the seekers of truth on the path towards eternal enlightenment. Sacrifice of self, renouncement of narcissistic desires, and compassion towards allare attributes that form the anchor for thismystical sojourn, which is intrinsically both holy and pious.
Being the fountainhead of Universal intelligence,with ‘Guru-Kripa’ emanating perpetually as ‘Chaitanya’from the lotus feet of these angelic souls, a realized Sat-Guru entrenched with seraphic powers, assists the seeker by precipitating drastic transformations at all levels of their existence, spiritual, emotional, physical and worldly. This metamorphosis experienced by the disciple is a blessing that is ethereal and beyond words. Such life-changing experiences are also referred to as‘Anubooti’.
And every Anubooti is a benediction that eventually becomes the dawning of spiritual redemption for the Atman.
Spiritual mentors illuminate the path to self-discovery and inner peace, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe.
