Guru Grace

Last evening was magical. We had a Guru pooja conducted by Fuzzy after many many days. A beautiful and magical musical jam of a satsang preceded the pooja. Music, lyrics and harmonies manifested by His Grace on the spot. The culmination of the pooja was Fuzzy playing BY YOUR GRACE by Krishna Das. Simply marvellous ode to the Guru by a true seeker, after every devotee's heart.

If you are lucky enough to be found by your Guru in this lifetime, and I pray and wish you are, you know what I am talking about. Like Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, sorrow diminishes and joy wells up for no reason. Once you come to the master He says, seeking stops and blossoming begins.

I will end this post with a writing by Dvorahji Adler, a long time devotee of Gurudev in California:

"A TRILLION spiritual teachers DON'T equate to "one" Guru.

In the flesh, out of the flesh -WHERE-EVER :D ......

All I know is:
..If you’re lucky enough to find a Guru in the flesh, standing in front of you, calling your name, you better lay your burden down, because this is your chance to be free.

Never mind about all the questions, doubts, and nonsense you’ve heard. Drop your misery and step into the embrace of that sweet love That Is.

You don’t ever have to worry about finding the right Guru.

He will find you, and that’s a promise–straight from the GURU."

“You cannot separate the wave from the ocean.”
–Sri Sri

Lets see....

So the thing is, my 11 year old daughter models herself on me with a scary lack of filter. Example: if I walk with a limp because my knee hurts, she will be caught walking with a limp around the house. She has a perfect set of knees.

Which if I may extrapolate for the sake of freaking myself out, means, she may brimming with unique gifts and beauty, but since she has an imitative personality, it all depends on how clean MY act is. If she is to shine.

This means my whole focus cannot be making Her great. I HAVE to be great if I want her to be great. And thats something that I can do with some discipline. Its not that bad really. Ill just have to break old habits and  make new ones.

So Ill make this the start of my chronicling my efforts to become more disciplined....and make Leela Great again. ( Note to the self that will read this 7 years later: Donald Trump wanted to make America great again after becoming president)

Cool. Ill see you. Ciao.
