Excerpt from 1990 Guru Poornima talk by Guruji.
Hymkara Shrimkara Rahasya Yuktaha, Hreemkara Gudartha Maha Vibhutyaha
Omkara Marma Prati Padhi Needbyam, Namoh Namah Sri Sri Gurupadhukabyam
Students are all over , disciples are few, but Devotees are rare. There is nothing great in becoming God but it is great to become a Devotee. Attraction is somewhere , love is everywhere but devotion is very rare.
Devotion is very beautiful. a student comes to the master with tears in his eyes when he leaves also he has tears but the quality of the tear is very different , still tears flow , it is of Gratitude , of Love. If one has cried even once in love they know what is devotion , what is surrender, the entire creation rejoices.
One of Buddha disciple Sareputra got enlightened. When he got enlightened Buddha told him go to the world and teach , but Sareputra was crying and crying and crying . People asked him , you are enlightened but why you are crying ??
He replied , “who cares about enlightenment. it could have waited. i did not even bother about it , I never asked for it . But the joy of being at the feet of Buddha was so great . being a devotee was so great and i am missing it. I would have preferred that for enlightenment.”
