Birthday of Our Baba

“a devotee who has drunk guru-premamrit ( the nectar of love for the beloved guru ) has truly reached perfection. The power of this perfect state is incomparable and beyond the miraculous ashtasiddhis ( the eight supernatural powers )”

Jai Gurudev!

We all are happy on the Birthday of our Beloved Baba.

I was all day thinking of what to post here,to share with all and found at the end of the day (6th May) , our Baba gave the best teachings on how to find the inner beauty and live into this urban world. At the end i found ~

" sab kuch diya aapne, bhenth karun kya naath

namashkaar ki bhenth karun,

jodun main dono haath "

Hence came up with reading old books from my father's shelves...and found a lovely book of Baba-

" Ligh on the Path "

a lovely article and some paragraphs, I want to share on this Divine day.

Baba Muktanand Pramhansa

Love is bhakti, and bhakti means love. The awakening of deep and boundless affection for one’s beloved Guru is love of self, or bhakti( devotion ).Such Devotion is of the highest order and does not depend on formalities such as yogic practices,worship,rituals or study.

When the mind is desireless,when worldly objects do not attract it,when the wish for heavenly happiness and even the desire for salvation vanish, and with full affection the mind is firmly established in the lotus feet of Shri Gurudev, that state of the highest, all exclusive love is known as Bhakti.

Such Bhakti ,such supreme love, is ambrosial in its every essence. To love only Shri Gurudev with all the intensity of the heart is real amrit(nectar). This amrit is the sweetest of all. One who receives and drinks it become immortal. Worldly desire is death.

An unwavering bhakta always longs for the ever fresh and pure love of his Guru. No other desire remains in his heart. He longs only for Shri Gurudev. Such a bhakta will see the divine form of his Gurudev, hear the sweet name of his beloved Guru and utter softly the name “ Shri Gurudev”. Hi s worldly life of give and take is filled with his Guru. In Short, his only longing is for the lotus feet of the Sadguru.
