The divine journey within is the only one of its kind, which is free from any sort of selfish desires; a journey with love as the basic and sufficient requirement, with ever-expansion of bliss as the by-product. One cannot be taught how to walk across it, however can certainly be directed through it. And the ones, who dare to step up and embrace it, get liberated. Who is the ‘one – the Guru, the master’ directing? Who is the ‘one – the disciple, the seeker, or let’s just say the chosen ones’ being directed? What’s that bridge connecting ‘Him (Guru)’ and ‘I (disciple)’? Because, forget worldly relationships which come to a halt every now and then; even the relationship with this very body we call ours, is not eternal. So, what is it that needs to be done? What can we do? The answer, the key to all the questions is ‘to learn to build an ever-lasting relationship with Guru’; how, by re-defining our vision; how, by being consciously aware of 1) ‘Who is a Guru’; i.e. He is not a mere collection of flesh and blood, rather an embodiment of All that is. And 2) ‘I’ seek his lotus feet, ‘to embrace that divine personification! No matter howsoever am I –good or evil– He is my door to eternity, with Him is the only bond I seek. Why; because I am not here just as to die like animals some day (who are just indulged in either eating-drinking, or sleeping off every single day).’ And all this while, ‘Guru-mantra’ is the only bridge; practice of whom, visualizing oneself beyond this confinement of physical body would direct us towards our goal; the goal – I am bliss. Only difference, for the moment, is that Guru has realized so, and I am on way towards it.
