Chapter III :
THE DEVELOPMENT OF GURU-BHAKTI :
=============================================================
Purity: A Pre-requisite
1. If only a disciple whose mind is cleansed of all its impurities, is initiated into the sacred mysteries by a Guru, then his mind will get complete quiescence. He will enter into the Nirvikalpa Samadhi state.
2. Guru will select a centre for concentration.
3. Learn Yoga under a Guru who is a developed Yogi.
4. You will have to purify your sensuous mind through concentration, reflection on the word of your spiritual preceptor and Upanishadic sentences or meditation, Japa or silent repetition of the name of the Lord.
5. There must be a good spiritual teacher (realised Guru) to guide you.
6. Stick to one place, one spiritual preceptor, one method, one system of Yoga. That is the way to positive success.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Yogic Sadhana :
7. Practice of Pranayama must be done under the guidance of a Guru who is a developed Yogi.
8. You can concentrate on the picture of Your Guru or any saint.
9. Withdraw the mind from the objects and act according to your Guru’s instructions.
10. If an aspirant in Kashmir meditates upon his Guru or spiritual guide at Uttarakashi, Himalayas, a definite connection is established between him and the teacher. The Guru radiates power, peace, joy and bliss to the student in response to his thoughts. He is bathed in the powerful current of magnetism. The stream of spiritual electricity flows steadily from the preceptor to his disciple, just as oil flows from one vessel to another. The student can imbibe or draw from his teacher in proportion to his degree of faith. Wherever the student sincerely meditates upon his teacher, the teacher also actually feels that a current of prayer or sublime thought proceeds from his student and it touches his heart. He who has the inner astral sight can clearly visualise a thin bright light between the disciple and the teacher, which is caused by the movement of the vibrations of Sattvic thoughts, in the ocean of Chitta.
11. In Hindu philosophy you will always find an esoteric and an esoteric meaning. This is the reason why you need the help of a teacher.
12. Keep a photo of the Lord Krishna, Siva, Rama, Devi, Gayatri, Guru, Lord Jesus or Lord Buddha. Place your seat in front of the picture.
Touch of the Guru :
13. A spiritual teacher actually transmits his spiritual power to his disciple. A certain spiritual vibration of the Satguru is actually transferred to the mind of the disciple. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa actually transmitted his spiritual power to Swami Vivekananda. Lord Jesus did the same to his disciple. This is Master’s spiritual touch. A disciple of Samarth Ramdas transmitted his power to that dancing girl’s daughter who was very passionate towards him. The disciple gazed at her and gave her Samadhi. Her passion vanished. She became very religious and spiritual. Mukand Bai, a Maharashtra Saint, put the Badshah in Samadhi.
14. Repeat some divine Stotras or hymns or Guru Stotras or chant Om twelve times, or do Kirtan for five minutes, before you start your Japa and meditation.
15. Sit on the Asana in front of the deity. Sing devotional hymns or repeat Guru Stotras.
16. The wandering habit of the mind must be controlled, by making it stick to one place, one method of Sadhana, one Guru and one form of Yoga.
17. In Yoga Vasishtha Sri Vasishtha says, “O Rama! give one fourth of mind for meditation in the beginning, one fourth for recreation, one-fourth for study, and one fourth for the service of Guru.”
18. Nobody can give Moksha. You will have to tread the spiritual path step by step. Books and Guru can show you the path and guide you.
19. Lord has given you all sorts of comforts, good health, and a Guru to guide you. What more do you want? Grow. Evolve. Realise the Truth and proclaim it everywhere.
20. Guru and Sastras can show you the path and remove your doubts. Anubhava of Aparoksha kind (direct, intuitive knowledge) is left for your own experience. A hungry man will have to eat for himself. He who has a severe itching will have to scratch for himself.
Methods of Mind-Control :
21. Never wrestle with the mind. Don’t use any violent efforts in concentration. Relax all the muscles and the nerves. Relax the brain. Gently think of your Ishtam. Slowly repeat your Guru Mantra with Bhav and meaning. Still the bubbling mind. Silence the thoughts.
22. If the mind is divested of all the Sankalpas of ‘I’, then through meditation of Atman after being initiated by a Guru, and having known the real significance of the Vedas, the mind can be turned back from various pains and made to rest on the subjective blissful Atman.
23. Don’t shake the body. Keep it as firm as a rock. Breathe slowly. Don’t scratch the body every now and then. Have the right mental attitude as taught by your Guru.
24. Be under the direct guidance and in close contact with your Guru for some years. You will have steady and continuous progress.
25. A wavering mind jumps from one Sadhana to another Sadhana, from one Guru to another Guru, from Bhakti Yoga to Vedanta, from Rishikesh to Brindavan. This is extremely deleterious for Sadhana. Stick to one Guru and one place.
26. You will have to find out yourself the kind of meditation that is suitable for you. If you are not able to do this, you will have to consult a teacher or preceptor who has attained Self-realisation. He will be able to know the nature of your mind and the correct method of meditation for you.
27. Company of spiritual teacher and good environments play a tremendous part in the elevation of the mind. In the absence of positive good company, have negative good company of books written by realised persons e.g. Sri Sankaracharya’s works, Yoga Vasishtha and Sri Dattatreya’s Avadhuta Gita etc.
28. Saguna meditation is meditation on a form. Select any Murthy you like best, either Siva, Vishnu, Rama, or Krishna according to your inclination or taste or follow the directions of your Guru. He will select for you the Ishta Devata or tutelary deity.
Progress on the Path :
29. Lay bare to your Guru the secrets of your heart. The more you do so, the greater the sympathy, which means an accession of strength to you in the struggle against sin and temptation.
30. Be careful in the selection of your companions. Undesirable persons easily shake your faith and belief. Have full faith in your spiritual teacher and the Sadhana which you are pursuing. Never allow your own convictions to be changed. Continue your Sadhana with zeal and enthusiasm. You will have quick spiritual progress and you will ascend the spiritual ladder step by step and reach the goal ultimately.
31. Like birds, fish and tortoise, the transmitting of spiritual powers can be done by the Guru, through touch, or sight, or willing and thinking. The Guru sometimes enters the astral body of the disciple and elevates his mind through his power.
32. Sometimes a religious teacher has to express a little anger outwardly to correct his disciple. This is not bad.
33. Some do meditation for some years independently. Later on they actually feel the necessity of a Guru. They come across some obstacles in the way. They do not know how to obviate these impediments or stumbling blocks. Then they begin to search for a master. A stranger in a big city finds it difficult to go back to his residence in a small avenue even in broad daylight, even though he has walked half a dozen times. When difficulty arises even in the case of finding out the way in streets and roads, what to speak of the difficulties in the razor-path of spirituality when one walks alone with closed eyes!
The Transformation :
34. The lower nature of mind must be thoroughly regenerated. The aspirant says to his preceptor, “I want to practise Yoga. I want to enter into Nirvikalpa Samadhi. I want to sit at your feet. I have surrendered myself to you.” But he does not want to change his lower nature and habits, old character, behaviour and conduct.
35. This change of the lower nature is not easy. The force of habit is ever strong and inveterate. It demands great strength of will. The aspirant often feels helpless against the force of old habits. He will have to develop his Sattva and will to a considerable degree by regular Japa, Kirtan, meditation, untiring selfless service, Satsanga. He must introspect and find out his own defects and weaknesses. He must live under the guidance of his Guru. The Guru finds out his defects and points out suitable ways to eradicate them.
36. You must equip yourself with the four means of salvation and then approach a Brahma-Srotri, Brahmanishtha Guru. You must clear your doubts. You should tread the spiritual path through the aid of the spiritual illumination imparted by your Guru. You should live with him till you are moulded properly. Personal contact with a realised soul is highly elevating. If you are sincere and earnest, if you have burning desire for liberation, if you strictly follow the instructions of your preceptor, if you do constant and intense meditation, then there is no doubt that the highest goal can be reached within six months. Take my word for it. It will really happen.
37. The world is full of temptations. Therefore neophytes should guard themselves very carefully. They should sit at the Lotus-Feet of their Gurus till they are completely moulded, till they get established in deep meditation. Happy-go-lucky aspirants who are independent from the beginning, who do not pay attention to the words of their preceptors are hopeless specimens. They lead an aimless life and are drifted here and there like the plank in a river.
38. The aspirant who is endowed with the four means of Salvation, hears the Srutis and the significance of “Tat Tvam Asi” Mahavakya at the feet of Guru, and then reflects deeply on what he has heard.
39. Fix the mind on the form of Lord Hari or Lord Siva or Lord Krishna or your Guru or any saint like Lord Buddha or Lord Jesus. Again and again try to call this mental image of the picture. All thoughts will die. This is another method, the method of Bhaktas. The merciful loving Guru always addresses his disciples “Hey Saumya.”

NOTE : DIVINE NATIONAL CULTURE:
BEWARE : OF ASURAS (DEMONS) WHO DESTABILISE BHARATHAM.
=======================================================================
1. You are following a wrong path even in your studies and educational career; and neither your parents, your government, your society nor your friends are good enough or intelligent enough to tell you what your problems are going to be when you become an adult!
