We see so many saints, preachers, master, Gurus in the world who are contributing their own little wisdom or power of transformation to the humanity for better of human thought.
We treat some as ordinary mortals, some as Gurus, some has Demi-Gods, and some as Super Gods.
All these experiences and manifestations are from within our own mind depending on how we perceive their grace, wisdom and experience the Knowledge and energy transferred by them.
Many a time, people also tend to ask, If there are so many great Gurus in the world, then why do we still see so much crime and injustice in the world. Can’t these Masters magically transform the world?
If they are so Powerful, why can’t they influence everyone in the humanity.
Well, to begin with, the Truly Humble Master never claims that he can change anything, The true Master is always contemplated in changing within. The true Master is always engaged in Self Realisation.
The beauty of this process is that as the Master is deeply engrossed in the Inside, the Purification of the Inner self is automatically influencing the people around.
The grace and glow emanating from the Master permeates the space around and influences the humanity around, just like fragrance of a flower spreading in its surrounding.
The true Master never declares that he can wipe out the filth in the humanity. A real master is constantly living in the moment bearing the burden of humanity around, burden of our selfish, mean thoughts and actions.
A master may heal, perform tricks, and may be aware of actions and thoughts of humanity, with the divine power of universal consiousness. Those powers are only manifestations of their innate ability to connect to the source of creation, the Cosmic energy.
When we watch one of those miracles we draw our own conclusions, either run after them or call them Magicians, use different names, whichever appeals to our own heart.
These names and interpretations are personal and based on our own experiences. The Master never asks us to create them into DemiGods or Gods.
It is our own inner consciousness that makes these judgements based on our experiences of their ability to bring out the inherent power within us.
A Master can heal or peform miraculous change only when we are ready to open and recieve. A true master never claims that they are Gods or Demi-Gods.
The real master can help us drop our baggages, selfishness, greed and all other pains that we carry.
The master is creating a channel by digging through the dirt that we have accumulated in form of subconscious clutters and eventually creating a clear conduit that can recieve the cosmic energy into our inner real self.
The true Master is creating a bridge between our Individual Self to the Pure Supreme Self. This process involves cleansing of the dirt in our Mind and Body and slowly creating a path for us to recieve the Cosmic energy, and finally illuminating the Inner Self.
So how in the world, can these Masters change the world in its entirety. They can and cannot. They can if we are open to recieve the guidance, drop our Ego and baggages of selfishness. They cannot if we continue to live in the skeptic & selfish mind filled with Ego.
A true master is Pure in Thought and Action. Such a master suffers through the pain of humanity, as the master is working through the pains of people around by carrying the baggage of actions that we accumulate in form of Karma over a period of many births.
Such was the grace of some great saints who walked on this earth like Jesus, Ramakrishna Pramahansa, Shirdi Sai baba, Mohammed and many more.
None of these great masters went around propagating that they can change the world. The change happened around them because of the power of their Pure thought.
People were drawn towards these great masters because of their innate ability to help and care.
They have only appealed to humanity to be good & do good.
It is our own ignorance of interpreting the message in a twisted manner.
There is an Indian saint (Annamayya) who was very deeply influenced by the divine energy and has written thousands of songs, poems and bhajans in the praise of the divinity.
One of his poems starts like this:
“Entha Maathramuna evvaru thalachina antha maathrame neevu”.
It translates to “How ever you imagine and interpret the divinity, that much is the manifestation of divinity.”
Our interpretation of the power of divinity could be as small as a dot and as huge as the Universe itself.
So it is our own imagination that allows us to see the dvinity in the smallest and the greatest.
A real Master is waiting to reach anyone who is interested, to open up, grow and elevate to higher levels in thoughts and actions.
Such a master is never selfish and always wants to take the student to a better state than him/herself.
If we knock the door, the Master is always ready to walk into our hearts to Purify us.
In my own experiences, I have seen all of the above qualities of a Guru in Sunita Bapooji.
It was a journey of transformation for me in the past 4 years to cross my own inner enemies to see the power of a real master.
On this day of Guru Poornima, my salutations to the divine guru, Sunita Bapooji who helped and guided me in the path of Self realisation.
