Guru Ji on the Perfect Masters
The Sadgurus or Perfect Masters are born at
different times in different places and different cultural backgrounds. Strangely enough
their external situations may be widely variant but their actions in their embodied stages
display a common theme and common approach to solve the human problems. I have closely
analyzed the method to solve the human problems by the Sadgurus or perfect Masters. One
thing is very certain about all of them, that is, some of their actions are extremely
mysterious, beyond the comprehension of ordinary human logic. For example, they enter into
a state of extreme rage without any seeming cause and then suddenly calming down and
showering all their blessings as if nothing had happened. Many a time they seem extremely
disturbed but would maintain a strange sort of inner calm even in the face of danger to
their lives.
Sri Sainath, the Param Sadguru (Guru of Gurus) of our times, as also Swami Akkalkot Maharaj, Baba Tajuddin and other Sadgurus of the early 20th century or even Baba Nimkaroli, the Sadguru who left his body only in 1973, used to go into tantrums throwing objects at their disciples who again used to strangely benefit spiritually and materially after the committance of such happenings. This goes to prove that whatever they do only benefits and does not harm the disciples.
The Sadguru in the midst of a swarm of devotees, when expected to become more vocal may suddenly resort to silence or may even leave the place. It has been established that such activity has something to do with the activity of a larger dirnension, which needs the immediate attention of the Sadgurus.
Sadgurus are hardly bothered about social appreciation, for they act because they know the ultimate reaction of all the actions which, what to speak of the society, the whole world may not be knowing. But the fact remains that whatever they do is ultimately for the benefit of mankind because they are in a state of complete selflessness. Their divine consciousness is so universal that it encompasses all the elements of living and non-living. Many people think the Sadgurus, always being aware about their infinite power, pretend not to know about it. The truth is that they are in a state of pure consciousness not affected by the three mental state of gunas - Tama, Raja and even Sattwa (attributes of ignorance). They are like pure mirrors. When a devotee approaches the Sadguru, a connection is established between the Sadguru and the soul of the devotee.
As the mirror reflects exactly what the person is, but does not add anything, we call it only mirror. The Sadguru is thus in the state of only consciousness. This means 'only existence'. Therefore whatever we project to the Sadguru, good or bad, will be accepted by him. He being in a state of only consciousness would absorb negative or positive traits of minds falling within the realm of the three states (gunas)and return pure consciousness, as He is nothing but pure consciousness. That is why we must always think of the Sadguru, keep Him in mind in every small or big act you do in your life. Each step you take as you walk along life, make him a companion, for he is the only companion who will walk with you in this life and the beyond.
