The path to Enlightenment is a very difficult road indeed. It is long, arduous, dangerous, difficult. Tradition has it that only devotion to the Guru, who is the direct representative of the Godhead, can pave the way for Self- Actualisation !
It is said that Guru’s Grace conferreth
Enlightenment, Wealth, Agri prosperity,
Wisdom, children and enjoyments
What is not possible with Grace ?
It is My Master who inspires me, who maketh me write this, who is guiding everything from within and am I not indebted to him ?
There are some critics who criticise Moksha or Self Realisation as a selfish desire. One worldly man tells a Yogi thus
You are talking about the Mount
When people are living in the valleys !
You thirst for the Divine Crown
You alone want the Divine Bliss.
Maybe Enlightenment is a selfish desire, but then it is the summum bonum of Life and the Goal of Evolution !
This is an octet consecrated to the Master Divine. May you be blessed by Enlightenment !
Shareeram Suroopam Thada Va Kalatram
Yashas charu chithram dhanam meru Thulyam
Guror Angri Padme Manas Chena Lagnam
Thatha Kim, Thatha Kim,Thatha Kim, Thatha Kim!
One may have a body beautiful,
And a loving spouse to boot,
Fame immortal to grace
And wealth beyond the dreams of avarice !
