The Spiritual Master - Part II

Most of you be aware that the World's Teacher and spiritual Master Adi Sankara had made a disciple of his ,who was below average , a scholar in a flash, and that's the power of Spiritual Master, and the disciple in turn and spontaneously sang a song in praise of Adi Sankara, his Master known as "Thotakastakam". While some of the disciples of Adi Sankara had been mocking at this disciple for his dullness, The Master made him WISE IN TRICE.

Our nation (INDIA) is famous and reputed for sages and divine incarnations and these spiritual monarchs, who were born on this earth with the message for Love, Peace and Bliss and sowed the seeds of God-realisation for the sake of dissemination of spiritual knowledge to humanity immersed in misery and ignorance and move like men among men.

One should not be content with one's book knowledge, but rise above it and realise the spiritual Truth.To seek and abide in the reality that is ever attained is alone the attainment.

The acquisition of occult powers and demonstration of the same by yogis can never contribute to the perfection which culminates in Self-realisation.They can prove only to be stumbling blocks. Occult powers are wonders only to the ignorant. They do not indeed lead to the only and everlasting bliss of the Self.An aspirant of realisation should not get involved and trapped into such ignorance, instead regard them as worthless.

If a man is brought to a strange place blind-folded and left alone, he cannot return from there by himself to his original place, unless some one comes to his rescue to remove the bandage from the eyes and show him the way, to reach his place easily. Similarly the Master removes the blindness of ignorance and shows and guides in the correct way.

An aspirant who whole heatedly surrenders to his Master, will be encompassed by the Master's overpowering grace and he shall never be abandoned, as the Master is not confined to his physical form and his contact will continue with the aspirant even in the absence of the Master.

Therefore understand the importance,benevolence,love indispensability of a spiritual Master in life ,on your way to realisation of ultimate Truth and surrender to Him with total reverence and love, then see the divine progress and blissful growth.
