Satsang BABA THE GURU OF GURUS-THE UNIVERSAL GURU

Such a Guru acquires the right to show the path of
freedom to others. Whether he is in the world or outside, he can
also heal the sickness arising from Karmic debts. He can remain
untouched and above, without being involved or reaping the fruits
arising from other's Karmic debts. Such a True Master or Guru
has control over himself and moves freely in the world. When a
potter has completed making his pots, the wheel of the potter still
rotates for some time, but is unable to manufacture pots. For a
liberated soul (Guru) the wheel of life remains in motion, but his
Karma does not create any bondage for him. His actions are
called "Actionless Action".
Such an Universal Guru says :that the fulfilment of knowledge
is wisdom. Knowledge can be imparted but wisdom is to be
gained by self-effort and in the process if body, mind and intellect
keeps cohesion the integration of personality can do wonders.
Over and above the nature and tendencies of individuals, due to
the Poorva-Karma are mostly concealed and not realised or
controlled. They work so confusingly that make many people
difficult to decide as to what is the actual way and what really
good for them and here a Guru's aid is often useful, if not
absolutely necessary.
All should remember that when we love a Guru, we are
not loving his external personality,we are to love his perennial
personality, the Siva-consciousness, which he is trying to instill
into us. That means that we are loving ourselves, the Self is
loving the Self. Instead of attempting to love the entire universe
we should try to love one person properly, because the Atma
is the same in every being. And remember no matter how much
we love, or think. He love our Guru, he loves us much, much
more because he has already learned how to love the Infinite.
He used to try to make us in to his own Guru the "One".
In this contest whether it is metaphysical discussion,
spiritual illumination or moral exhortation Sri Sai Baba of
Shiridi the Guru of Gurus. The Universal Guru lays His finger
unerringly on one thing essential for man; a change in his
behavioural pattern, motivates one to trim his heart lamp of
faith and devotion: burning in the wicks of love,
non-attachment and through the process of which the
flame of knowledge (self-realisation) lit-up for shining
brighter leading to actual enlightenment and emancipation.
