THE GIFT OF SADGURU DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

We have used the word Sadguru to differentiate it from the modern usage of the word guru; implying expertise or mastery in a particular field such as management. Sadguru is also called Mauli or Mother.
Our mother may or may not teach us; different arts and skills; and may or may not give us; money, fame and power.

But she gives us; birth and enables and empowers us; to sustain life! She enables and empowers us to learn everything we aspire to learn and/or to earn!

Quite similarly; the Sadguru may or may not; teach us the various techniques and crafts! He may or may not; teach us biology or computers. He may or may not; provide us with wealth, popularity and social weightage!

But the Sadguru; enlivens us; to the life of life! He reorients us; to our immortal true self! He reinstates us; in our own abode! He enlightens us; to “see” the “hidden” unity and harmony; in the universe! He nurtures us; from the deepest root; of our being! He enkindles us from within!

The Sadguru gives; objectivity to our existence and rectifies our vision, ideas, aims, objectives, pursuits and activities! Everything in our life; becomes increasingly unprejudiced, impartial, unbiased, accurate, appropriate and deeply satisfying!

How does Sadguru give all this
?
To understand this we have to know; what is NAMA.

The NAMA does not connote just a name! Even though outwardly or superficially looking at it; it is usually a name of God (or a saint; or a prophet; or a mere concept of god for an atheist); the infinite and ultimate reality; the NAMA harbors; becomes evident as one keeps on practicing NAMASMARAN (jap, jaap, jikra, sumiran, simaran, that is; remembering our true self).

In the course of time; we get passionately engrossed in NAMASMARAN; and later; experience; being connected with NAMA, the center of our being, the innermost seed of our existence; the source of omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence; and our Sadguru Himself! His unimaginable bounty and providence; begin to flow; incessantly!
