Guru and Disciple Guru and Disciple | Page 89

78 The Guru and the Disciple have decreased, or their anxieties and reactions to external problems have decreased. If you ask them, they will tell you that nothing has decreased. Then let it go, forget about it, just get out of that shop! Can you not understand this much? These are all mistakes on the part of the gurus themselves. None of them will admit to it. I have come to expose the truth. I do not have divisive differences with anyone nor do I have any problems with anyone! Nevertheless, no guru will admit to having such faults. They proclaim themselves as gurus and dominate the public! Clashes end with real guru A guru is someone who would give us such an understanding that clash will not occur, not even during an entire month. And if you experience clashes, then you should understand that you have not found the right guru. What is the purpose of having a guru when you still have mental torment (kadhapo) and restlessness (ajampo)? You have to say to the guru, ‘Sahib, it seems that your mental torment and restlessness have not gone, otherwise why would my mental torment and restlessness not go? If it is possible for mine to go then I will come back to you.’ If not then you should say, “Ram, Ram, Jai sat chit anand.” You have wandered around for endless lifetimes going in and out of such shops. And if nothing is being done, then you should tell your guru, ‘Sahib, you are a great man, but nothing is happening to me. So if you have a solution, please help me. If not, then I will be on my way.’ Should you not speak frankly? Similarly, when you go to a shop say, ‘If you do not have any silk goods, then I will go elsewhere. Don’t give me linen instead.’ A guru can only be called a guru when you have worshipped him with an understanding and you have surrendered all your ownership. Otherwise, how can you call him a guru? He should remove your darkness (ignorance) and if you walk the road, he shows you, then your anger, pride, deceit and greed will decrease,
