Celebrate Guru Purnima Festival on 21 July 2016
The Guru plays a central role in a soul’s journey towards enlightenment. The role is that of a conduit. God is too vast an entity for man to understand and grasp with his limited mind and therefore even though the soul of man is a part of the divine spirit, yet man can never understand the true nature of God. In that situation, how can man ever be free from his physical bondage? It seems a hopeless situation but never fear! God provides a solution to this problem. God knows that we can never reach him by our own capabilities and efforts unless we are guided by someone who knows God. The question is-who can know God but God Himself? That’s right! Therefore God transfers Himself to the physical world in a form that can be seen and understood by people at large. Thus God walks on earth in a physical form and communicates with people and talks about the journey back home. He reminds all of us about God, our true nature and that our true home is not here but with God Himself. In this way he awakens the divine memory that sleeps in all of us. This person-God on earth, does a service that can never be repaid by us. (more…)
