BOTH INFINITE & TANGIBLE

The essence of life is to feel a personal connection with the divine. I am happy that I could see beyond our familial relationship and recognise him as my Guru.

BOTH INFINITE & TANGIBLE

I can recollect many instances when my mind kept oscillating between considering Gurudev as my brother and my Guru. Whenever I am exposed to his discourses on wisdom, I often wonder, ‘Is this really my brother?’ There is a sense of an unbounded presence that is beyond the limitations of siblinghood.

It is not possible to explain it in words. I am reminded of the words of Yashoda, the mother of Lord Krishna, in the Srimad Bhagavatam. She says, ‘I know that he is my son, but it feels as if I have been trying to catch the wind with my pallu.’ How is it even possible? My Brother. My Guru. As the heart alternates between the two roles, ‘my’, which is a sense of belonging, remains the only constant. The essence of life is to feel a personal connection with the divine. I am happy that I could see beyond our familial relationship and recognise him as my Guru.
