To describe a Master’s grace upon us is a very difficult task, as we with our limited human faculties, cannot understand the extent to which a Master helps a devotee to cross the quagmire of Karma.
Here is one such humble attempt of mine of how he saved my mother from a painful health issue.
We have a beautiful sharing by Ilina, who found that connecting to the Master helped her overcome a deep-seated emotional trauma in her life. Through the process of ignoring her mind’s negative chatter and surrendering her expectations, she had a wonderful experience which helped her momentarily see the underlying Consciousness in all creation.
At times when we are battered by the storms of life, the only anchor we can turn to is our Guru or God. When we have complete faith and devotion, His presence, guidance and grace will help us overcome the trials and tribulations of life. He will hold our hand and help us face the difficulties with courage.
This story in Mohanji Satcharita – Chapter 7 highlights what Mohanji means about presence without presence! He is ever present with us, taking care of us irrespective of our awareness. Enjoy this beautiful narration about how Nirupma recognised His presence in her life!
Just when we give up on ourselves and our dear ones, the Master steps in and in His compassion shows us anything is possible if it is meant for highest good. Read these two powerful experiences from Mai-tri practitioners – Tina Arya and Preethi Duggal.
Prior to meeting Mohanji physically, I was totally unaware of my true existence, I would say that I was just living. Now, with His teachings and seeing the example He sets, I know that I have a purpose and that’s very powerful!
Every disciple’s end goal is absolute dissolution, complete merge into Shiva. One of the most purest path to achieve this is through bhakti yoga and absolute surrender to Guru. In absolute surrender, there is no existence except that of the Guru. However, it is not easy being with a Guru, a living master. Being with the Guru, every moment the disciple burns a lot of samskaras along with burning the ego, burning the intellect, burning the entire mind matter. When the existence of the disciple is completely burnt he turns into pure ash. That’s when Shiva wears the ash and thus the disciple merges completely into Guru, the Adi Guru – Shiva!
