15-Feb-2013 will be a landmark day in the annals of history as 123 rd Birth Anniversary of Guru Dev. Not just that, it is his Diksha Divas also.
His holiness and blessings has been felt in each one of our lives. What is astonishing is that this Guru with no disciples, continues to make his mark by leaps and bounds across growing number of Guru Bhakts. We get to see more and more of his temples being built across the country. This emphasizes the spirit and belief of Guru Bhakts.
On this auspicious day of his, it is important to revisit a few of his preachings and draw out even more greater strength and directions to lead our lives better.
My understanding is that our faith in Guru Dev, gives us a strong shoulder to rely and trust upon. This shoulder - always and continues to listen tirelessly to our moments of joy and despair, thoughts, wishes and aspirations, trials and tribulations of life etc. It is nicely put in one of his Bhajan "सुनता है तू मन की मेरे, आके में तुझे सुनाता रहूँ..." . But while doing so, it make us feel lighter and keeps our antennas active. This helps us in determining / reception of right directions and guidance. And many a times, in pursuit of his directions with our heart and soul, we realize prayers turning into reality.
Here are a few quotes from his speeches/discourse, which emphasizes the need to have unshakable belief.
1. जब तक तुम्हारे दिल में श्रद्धा की बात नहीं जम जाए, तब तक में आगे नहीं चलूँगा ...
2. धर्म श्रद्धा का विषय है , बुद्धि का विषय नहीं है। श्रद्धा बिन सर्व क्रियाएं निष्फल है।
3. श्रद्धा आना बहुत दुर्लब हैं .....
4. मै केवल पथ प्रदर्शक हूँ, जो पथिकों को यह तो बतलाता है कि अमुक स्थान यहां से कितनी दूरी पर हैं।
5. एक क्षण भर भी सत पुरुष का योग मिले तो भव सिन्धु से तरने को नौका के समान है।
Someone wise mentioned - "Trusting Gurudev is the biggest privilege we have...no matter what he will take care of us..." Lets pray and hope that we will continue to get his blessing and holiness, in leading our lives.
"तूने किये जो उपकार है, एहसान तेरा हैं मुझ पे गुरू!
Jai Guru Dev.
