In this whole vedanta sampradaya,
the only requirement is a proper guru.
Beautifully vedanta sampradaya describes
how to catch the right guru.
Peel all the things which are common.
For example, if I have an organisation,
somebody else is also having organisation.
There are so many spiritual organisations.
Remove that part from my glory.
If I have body, then many of you also have body.
Remove that part from my glory.
If I have amazing orating power,
many of them are having.
Remove that part from my glory.
So go on peeling, peeling, peeling.
Finally at some point,
your logic will not be able to peel further
but still you will feel
he is something more than all these things.
When your logic feels
I cannot peel further,
I have peeled everything,
even after all these things are removed,
he has something more
than all these things put together.
When you feel
this understanding with somebody,
he is your guru.
If that does not happen, if you feel,
after i peel three, four things, he is not worthy,
then forget about it.
He is not worthy of being your guru.
You are not worthy of being his disciple.
The guru disciple relationship
is sacred
should be
started after thorough study and research
and should never be ended.
Should be started after thorough research,
and should never be ended.
I tell you,
ending the guru-disciple relationship in your life
is a worst
crime you will do to yourself,
worst punishment
you are imposing upon yourself,
worst conspiracy against your self.
One more thing I want to tell you,
change of guru is perfectly alright,
nothing wrong.
For example, you go to one guru,
after some time you grow out of him
or you get more mature.
You feel connected to some other guru.
That is perfect.
Nothing wrong.
At some point if you feel you have grown out of me,
please carry on with your life
if you are feeling connected to somebody.
Great.
But, dropping from the guru,
and not having some other guru is the crime.
It means you did not drop from this earlier guru
because you are advancing,
you dropped because you have fallen.
