The Guru is needed when you have the Guri (goal or aim in Telugu). If you do not have that urge, what can the teacher do? Strewing precious seeds on sand or rock is a sheer waste! Inner prompting to see light must send aspirants to the teacher or must draw the teacher to wherever the aspirant is. You must inquire and discriminate: Do objects grant happiness? Is anyone happy? How can one be happy through multiplications of desire and frantic efforts to feed the raging fire? At last, you will, by your own experience, discover that happiness is an inner gift, a spiritual treasure that can be won by equanimity. The moon is the presiding deity of the mind; it must shine, cool and comforting, eternally, in fullness, in the inner firmament of the heart (hriday-akasa). The external material moon waxes and wanes, but the internal mind should be trained to stand up against modifications and moods, and have no marks on it; it should always be a full moon for the victorious spiritual aspirant!

- Divine Discourse, Jul 17, 1962.

Sathya Sai Baba
Obey the guru, follow his instructions, progress along the spiritual road - these are
the best   means of worshiping the Guru’s feet. - Baba Babameans of worshipping the Guru’s feet. - Baba

  Literature on Sufism by Lover of Ancient Wisdom It is very interesting that Rumi transformed literary works like Laila Manju into spiritual allegory depicting the intense devotional relationship between the aspirant- Bhakta and Divinity which overshadowed him and shines in his heart Terrestrial events are shadowing forth of celestial / cosmic phenomena in the world of Spirit That’s why the Law of Analogy and Correspondence rules in cosmos by which one can trace celestial pattern in terrestrial events. Rumi was one of spiritual Masters who knew the unity of the terrestrial and the celestial and could see man to be inseparably and essentially  one with the celestial : microcosm and macrocosm are one. Saint Paul, another Master, said that this world is the mirror of the pure Truth Deity Itself differentiates itself into many and dwells in the heart of all This is the teaching of the Bhagavadgita. In the 13th chapter Krishna says that as one sun illuminates ...

  1.   UNDAUNTING, UNCONQUERABLE SPIRIT O! The spirit moving the entire planet earth The spirit dwelling in every living being Guiding to their respective destiny. Which the Lord has decreed in their self.   The spirit embedded in each being Plays its specific part, for joy or grief. The joyous spirit for exuberance. The sad spirit for melancholy and pain.   O! Daunting, Unconquerable lovely spirit! You grant undefeatable strength To those of deep faith in you To dominate and conquer low individuals.   To enslave and rule over them To also free those entangled and enmeshed. **********   2.   PEACE WITHIN One has to undergo severe Mental and physical sufferings Agony and turmoil’s in life Before arriving at the Truth A testing time, a period Of severe anguish and pain. On arriving at the Truth You reach the stream Of fresh, soothing waters To quench the thirst To gain moments of Ecstasy, jo...

  One of the oldest surviving historical accounts of India was written by this Korean Buddhist monk Hyecho arrived in India in 724 CE and travelled extensively, closely observing the culture, customs and geographical features of the country. A section of Memoir of the Pilgrimage to the Five Kingdoms of India. Among the numerous treasures in its vast collection, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris holds a valuable 8th century manuscript. Handwritten on a scroll, the manuscript has about 6,000 classical Chinese characters spread over 227 lines and is one of the oldest surviving historical accounts of India. The scroll, measuring 28.5 centimetres in width, ended up in the possession of France’s national library thanks to French archaeologist and Sinologist Paul Pelliot. Pelliot purchased it – along with thousands of other ancient scrolls in Chinese, Sanskrit, Prakrit and other languages – from the caretaker of the Mogao Caves in Dunhang, China, in 1908. A rare record...
