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,
