When they received the darshan they touched the orange to their heart chakra, bowed, and walked reverentially back to the benches. When it came my turn, I approached slowly so that people would think I was spiritual. "When Guru flickers his eyes," I recalled my brother telling me, "he is entering the perfect awareness of Nirvakalpa Samadhi." I looked up.
"They are equal in honour with Bhowanee," the Guru replied: "they slay for profit, even as you do, and among you are those who are thugs, for I minister to both." Then the Guru buried his shrivelled skull in his thin hands and drooped forward in silent listening.
He levelled his eyes at her with awakened interest; then: "Frankness for frankness is fair exchange, sister. I am no guru; but like yourself, England-returned; caste restored, however. Dedicated to service of the Mother " It was her turn to start and scrutinise him discreetly. "Yet you make pretence of holiness ?"
True, she had sometimes read of such things, but from the same angle with which she had read the Arabian Nights fairy stories. Yet, here was her father, thoroughly convinced of the efficacy of the guru's curse; and here was Ahmed, complacently watching the effects, and not doubting in the least that his guru would in the end prove the stronger of the two.
With determination and even by instigating lawsuits, Sri Yukteswar outwitted every opponent. He underwent these painful experiences from a desire never to be a begging guru, or a burden on his disciples. His financial independence was one reason why my alarmingly outspoken Master was innocent of the cunnings of diplomacy.
She thought that I ought to have been in church attending Mass instead. The field work was a good experience and one which I cherish. I helped Guru plough about half a dozen fields and even now when the rainy season approaches I remember that experience with warmth and pleasure.
But many tantric treatises are chiefly concerned with charms, spells, amulets and other magical methods of obtaining wealth, causing or averting disease and destroying enemies, processes which even if efficacious have nothing to do with the better side of religion. The religious life prescribed in the Tantras commences with initiation and requires the supervision of the Guru.
The unbidden Lord does not enter there; neither do I venture intrusion." "You are ever welcome, Master!" "Your architectural dreams will materialize later. Now is the time for study!" Thus incidentally my guru revealed in his simple way the coming of three great events in my life. Since early youth I had had enigmatic glimpses of three buildings, each in a different setting.
Yudhishthira used to invite every day a large number of Brahmanas and make them very valuable presents for obtaining their benedictions. Or rather, superior. Guru is used to denote any senior as well as preceptor. The Diksha is that rite which one passes through by way of preparation for those sacrifices and vows that one seeks to perform. Satyanrite is equivalent to trade or barter.
She would sooner have acquiesced in her Guru going to fifty garden-parties, where all was public, and she could keep an eye and a control on him, rather than that Lucia should have "enticed him in," that was her phrase like this to tiffin. The only consolation was that her own lunch had been practically inedible, and Robert had languished lamentably for the Guru to return, and save his stomach.
