Sai PrakashHOST
That is not what surrender is.
Sai PrakashHOST
And that very humorous story of how the disciple is worshipping the Guru by doing his Ashtotram, while the Guru is standing outside the house and knocking on the door and saying, why don't you open the door for me? So this takes it to the next level of where you have to surrender keeping in mind what the Lord wants from you.
Sai PrakashHOST
then the surrender goes one step further, where he says, we should not have any desires or we should not have any prayer at all.
Sai PrakashHOST
Because the moment we start praying, we do not understand what is good for us and what is not good for us.

S. BhagavantamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Many amongst the youth ask questions such as, is there God? If there is God, where is He? There is no God at all.
S. BhagavantamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They waste much of their time in asking such useless questions.
S. BhagavantamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In the same context, Totaka, the disciple of Sankara, was approached by an individual and he was asked, why are you wasting your time with your Guru, Sankara? Why are you wearing this yellow robe? Is there God? What is all this you are wasting your time for?
Sathya Sai BabaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Totaka said, I don't have the right to answer this question, and took him to his Guru.
Vasant SwahaHOST
Experience divine fulfillment and sing His glories.
Vasant SwahaHOST
Friend and aspire to the lotus feet of the Guru and you too will attain all joys and salvation.
Vasant SwahaHOST
Your sorrows will disappear.
Vasant SwahaHOST
Other than the Guru, nobody else is your mother or friend.
Vasant SwahaHOST
He is the only one on your heart's side.
Vasant SwahaHOST
He is the true giver.
Vasant SwahaHOST
He's only recognized by those who are thirsty for God's love.
Vasant SwahaHOST
This dimension is forgotten now.
ShankaranandaHOST
Later, he was a poet, and he wrote all the hymns into English poetry.
ShankaranandaHOST
So the Guru Gita is in English, and he did it.
ShankaranandaHOST
And I always want to do the Guru Gita in English, but Devi Ma never lets me.
ShankaranandaHOST
It says, you know, it was a...
ShankaranandaHOST
Poverty, she was royal wife.

ShankaranandaHOST
You'll be able to see them as a play that happens.
ShankaranandaHOST
They come and go.
ShankaranandaHOST
Even if you cannot have full faith in the Guru, even if your faith is wavering, even if it is slight, it will certainly be rewarded.

Satyanarayana DasaHOST
So this person is dispassionate, he has no interest in any material pleasures, but he is also ignorant about Bhakti, about the process, what is to be done, about Paramatma Tattva.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
So therefore he says you should approach a Guru.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
How long one has to be with the Guru, that is being described here.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
So he says he should remain with the Guru until he has understood what is Brahman.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
How he has to remain there, he says he should do paricharya.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
So paricharya is a very important part because it is not just intellectual thing, but you have to have experience of it.

Satyanarayana DasaHOST
The duties of grihastha, householder, are bhutarakshya, protection of living beings, and doing Yagya, Ijya.
Satyanarayana DasaHOST
And Dvijasya Acharya Sevanam.
BinduHOST
Namaste Venkat.
BinduHOST
Guruji, this
VenkatAUDIENCE
Purva Dehika Buddhism Yoga, this was literal actually because in the yogic practices, I get to recollect my own prior lives.
VenkatAUDIENCE
I was roaming around the corridors of Tirupati in those times.
SirioHOST
Mamuk is the mouthpiece of the mind.
SirioHOST
Gurumuk is the mouthpiece of the Guru.
SirioHOST
This is the difference between a Mamuk and a Gurumuk.
SirioHOST
Man is the mind, so the man of the mind, the spokesperson of the mind.
SirioHOST
Gurumuk, instead, is the spokesperson of the Guru.
SirioHOST
And there is a vast difference between a person that keeps asserting himself and praising himself, herself, and a person that gives all the credit to the supreme power, Supreme Sadguru.
SirioHOST
So it is through communion with Nam that we come to this understanding, as Master Kirpal says here.
SirioHOST
So let's try to come into communion with Nam so that gradually our foolish and stupid ego may die off and we become really the mouthpiece of the Guru.
Satpal SinghGUEST
I can switch them around.
Satpal SinghGUEST
And it's the way Guru, for example, in Barney uses Guru and Sant interchangeably.
Satpal SinghGUEST
Naam and Hukam are interchangeable.
Satpal SinghGUEST
There are so many Shabads which will talk about Hukam, Hukam, Hukam.
Satpal SinghGUEST
And in the end, the last concluding line is Naam.
Satpal SinghGUEST
And you're like, how did you throw that in there? Because the Guru is comfortable with poetic license.
Amar SinghHOST
Yes.
Satpal SinghGUEST
With...
Michael JamesGUEST
In other words, we will be...
Michael JamesGUEST
He who is for that refers to God or Guru, the one who has allotted the prarabdha.
Michael JamesGUEST
He will make us act in accordance with our prarabdha.
Michael JamesGUEST
So for example, the, the, uh, um, if it's our destiny to, um, study and become a, a doctor or an engineer or a nuclear physicist or, um, a professor of philosophy or whatever it may be, in order to, uh, have that profession, we need to study, we need to pass exams, we may need to write dissertations.

Michael JamesGUEST
Bhagavan is not a human being.
Michael JamesGUEST
He may appear in human form, but what he actually is is the ultimate reality, the infinite reality.
Michael JamesGUEST
So there's a, um, there's a verse in Guru Vachaka Kovai, verse 274.
Michael JamesGUEST
The meaning of, uh, of this verse is, "Those who do not have mind to know," mind here implies the clarity of mind or heart, "to know the jnana guru, who seems to be a human form, even though always actually remaining firmly at the supreme space." The supreme space means the supreme space of, uh, satchit, of, of, of being awareness.
Soumen SenGUEST
My mother was an ardent devotee of Baba.
Soumen SenGUEST
Although my mother, she had her Diksha in a different school and she had her Guru.
Soumen SenGUEST
But then, as I have seen, my mother, she was spiritually attracted to different faiths, Gurus, I think one of those, his passion and tryst to find out what is truth, what is compassion, what is love and what the spiritual gurus all about and how their teachings could influence the life.
Soumen SenGUEST
She came across Shatushaibaba.
Soumen SenGUEST
I think this was in 72, 73.
Soumen SenGUEST
She was really worried about me.
Soumen SenGUEST
So she would try to find out that which Guru can really give a better future to my son.
Soumen SenGUEST
So suddenly she told us, me and my father, that I want to go to Purtapurthi.
