Thoughts about Gurupurnima


Give all your garbage to the Guru. ["Garbage" here means our negativity and negative qualities like hatred, envy, jeaoulsy, anger, laziness, greed.. etc] Guru makes gold out of garbage. [The Guru transforms our negativity into Love and positive qualities]
The Guru makes a fool [an ignorant person] intelligent. It is easy to make that change because everyone is made up of that one Love.

Gurupurnima is the day to feel grateful for the great knowledge you have received from your master. It is time to review how much knowledge you could ingrain in your life in the past one year. This may bring about a realization for scope of improvement which in turn will bring humility in you.

Be grateful for the way this knowledge has transformed you. Just think how you could have been without this. There is a definite change inside you. If you cannot see any change, then you haven't had a good look in yourself. Gratitude and humility together blossom a genuine prayer inside you!

So in Gurupurnima we remember all Gurus of the past.
An Acharya (teacher) gives knowledge and Guru gives height of awareness and makes you alive. An Acharya gives information, Guru gives intelligence, an awakened intelligence.

The mind is connected with moon. Full moon is completion, the pinnacle.
On Gurupurnima the devotee wakes up in full gratitude. The devotee becomes like an ocean moving in itself.
It’s the time to come in fullness. It’s a time to celebrate ! Don’t miss this auspicious opportunity.
