Patanjali on 3.5 coiled snake |
But this nourishment has to be retained within ourselves, so always remember then, whenever you are worshipping any principle outside, you are trying to worship your own principle within yourself.
If you are a very mundane type of a person, very ordinary, cannot create a beautiful couplet or a beautiful sentence, or a humor or a joke, or a beautiful painting or a beautiful tapestry or a beautiful house; if you lack in creativity you will lack in your Guru Principle, because a guru has to create out of ordinary people something extraordinary.
Shirdi Sainath |
He should be able to create a new personality out of an old personality which is decayed.
So the first principle you have to understand within yourself, that you should be able to create a new personality in a person.
And the new personality has to be a special personality of very unique combination of compassion and dynamism. So it is important that in your creativity you have to use the energy of compassion.
So today
when you are worshipping me
as the Guru,
you must know
that
any amount of my talking,
any amount of my giving you blessings or anything
is not going to work out,
unless and until
we really develop our own Guru Principle, and the depth. ….
But if you do not establish your Guru Principle,
you know of angels
how they have fallen down
and gone
forever.
So be careful:
it's easy to be an angel
but difficult to maintain it. …
