The Guru is verily the representative of Brahma , Vishnu and Shiva .
He creates , sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance and negativity.
I salute such a Guru.

Spirituality is related to the human mind . When the mind is disturbed , spirituality is the only option to over come the disturbances .
Every person has got the spirit within that is dormant and not empowered . The human beings get disturbed because of taking in the worldly happenings and unexpected situations . Spirituality has tremendous power to create Sthanu , a condition of steadfastness in the minds of the people under all situations in life .
In the pursuit of spirituality under a Divine Master , the energy from the Master is received by the disciples that reduces the negativity in them if they are initiated by the Master . The flow of Master's energy will be continuous if the disciples are able to maintain constant remembrance of the Master . The quantum of energy received by the disciple depends upon the extent of faith , respect and love developed towards the Master . When the faith and love are lost , the energy flow from the Master reduces gradually and at some stage the energy flow seizes to take place . In such a situation , the mind of the disciple gets disturbed and the disciple may start disturbing others too .
When we accept a Divine personality as our Master in spirituality , we should develop relentless faith and know that whatever he does is to protect righteousness . Outwardly we may feel sometimes that his approach , behavior and communication may not be up to our liking . But everything done by the spiritual Master is only to protect the righteousness .
Lord Krishna's actions seem to be un - rightful during Kurukshethra war but all his actions were only to suppress the un -rightful actions of others and to protect righteousness . It is very difficult for us to comprehend the actions of the Divine personalities because we see only the actions but not the motive behind it . If any disciple begins to suspect his rightful Master , it is the prelude to leaving the Master .
All of us come to the Master to reduce our negativity . Our negativity is reduced because of the purity ( Divine Energy ) of the Master . In case of any negative feelings disturb the disciples , it is better to get clarifications and clean up the mind than developing prejudice towards a rightful person . If the prejudice is allowed to increase further because of the negativity , it may develop other negative qualities too . Suspicions , per se , are always dangerous and difficult to eliminate . Thereby it breaks the relationships even between two close friends , husband and wife , boss and subordinate etc.
When we want to create harmony in this world , we must destroy the negativity . All problems of today are because of the negativity in the human mind . Negativity develops negative qualities in humans such as prejudice , sadism , jealousy , vengeance etc and it further develops fear , worries , anxiety and greed .
Once we succeed in receiving maximum energy from a Divine personality because love , faith and respect towards him undisturbed by the comments of others , we can reduce our negativity and lead harmonious and joyful life .
Our Indian culture and philosophy teaches us that Guru is more than anyone in this world because Guru is the person who shows the God within .
There may be natural tests for the disciples to know the faith in Guru . During that time the disciples must be vigilant and should try to be with the Master / Guru and should not become hostile .
Let us pray God that under any circumstance we do not leave the Master . If we leave the Master , we are the losers and not the Master .
May God Protect us Both ( the Teacher and the Student ) ,
May God Nourish us Both ,
May we Work Together with Energy and Vigour ,
May our Study be Enlightening and not give rise to Hostility ,
Peace , Peace , Peace
