The Search for A True Master: The Sat Guru, A Competent,
Qualified, Genuine, Enlightened Teacher -- This Sant Mat
Satsang Podcast is for the benefit of spiritual seekers
and satsangis everywhere. Today: a compilation of
articles, quotations, and observations about this most
important of subjects for spiritual seekers: finding a
true teacher (Sant Satguru, Living Master,). This is all
about nobody being left behind. No detours and wasted
decades. Life is short. We must choose wisely.
"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher
inspires." (William Arthur Ward)
"It is the mercy of my Satguru that has made me to know
the Unknown. I have learned from Him how to walk without
feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink
without mouth, to fly without wings. I have brought my
love and my meditation into the land where there is no
sun and moon, nor day and night. Without eating, I have
tasted of the sweetness of nectar; and without water, I
have quenched my thirst. Where there is the response of
delight, there is the fullness of joy. Before whom can
that joy be uttered? Kabir says: "The Guru is great
beyond words, and great is the good fortune of the
disciple." (Songs of Kabir, satgur soi daya kar dinha)
"The question then is how to recognize an accomplished
guru and one who is not accomplished, or worse, one who
is corrupt. The difficulty is that most, being mesmerized
by worldly attractions, judge gurus by outward and
material achievements, which are a wholly inaccurate
measure. The true gurus live a simple life and morally
upright lifestyle; they stay away from the pomp and show
of the display of power. For example, they do not have
expensive cars and opulent mansions. They do not show
favoritism among their followers...
"Today s inept gurus do not pay attention to the
tradition of true Sants and are simply intent on
increasing the number of their followers... These gurus
praise their rich devotees; they are inaccessible to
their underprivileged devotees. They even despicably
exploit the poor... The false teachers themselves do not
know the inner path nor understand the students' dilemma.
They cannot tell if the student is making progress or
going backward. The untrue guru has no way of knowing. In
this way the student becomes unsure and confused on the
path of meditation. This is fully the responsibility of
the 'guru' to assist when the student begins to stray
from the path of meditation." (Swami Vyasanand, from,
Rules For Being Guru)
The leader of a spiritual movement must always be the
embodiment of Truth (Sat Guru -- Guru of Truth). Without
a competent Master, a spiritual movement will not be
capable of being an instrument in the world for the
Positive Power (God).
"Wisdom cannot be taught by one who has not attained
wisdom... The way to wisdom is through a teacher who has
seen wisdom." (The Upanishads)
God is the Ocean of Love.
In Divine Love, Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the
Masters,
