"Opposite values are complementary, accept them both gracefully" - we are all aware of this wisdom. But still, accepting the opposites and smiling through them is such a big challenge in reality. I often hear people say - 'all this knowledge is good in theory, but not possible to implement in real life'. But yet, when you observe the Master, all this knowledge starts coming to life effortlessly. There is so much of noise around the Guru (people seeking blessings, sharing their problems, expressing their emotions), but the Guru epitomizes Silence like the infinite space. There is so much chaos around the Guru, but the Guru remains calm and centered like a still river. There are so many demands from the Guru, but the Guru himself remains dispassionate like a Sufi fakir. And there is no dearth of ignorance around the Guru, but every word of the Guru is dipped in the nectar of wisdom....A Guru, therefore, does not just accept opposites, rather opposites flourish around him, and then dissolve into him, just how a wave rises from the ocean and then goes back into the ocean. A Guru does not have to 'give' knowledge, Knowledge simply springs forth around Him. Whether he speaks, or remains silent, everything about him is soaked in wisdom. A quiet glance from him can carry infinite love. A simple act of his can give a profound message. And a silent moment in his presence, can heal years of pain. I am in fact reminded of what Gurudev once said - "Satya hai, to keval Guru ka maun" - The Master's silence is the only truth.....and how true is that!! 😊❤️
Jai Gurudev!
