2 types of Seekers & Guru's Work.

Excerpts from Guru Purnima Satsang with Guruji in Chicago:

"...the work of a Guru is to create Confusion in a seekers life. He is not there to convince but to confuse .And that’s what lord Krishna did in Gita, he kept making Arjuna more and more confused in different chapters.

As soon as one concept is formed in our minds ,Guruji puts us in a new situation where this concept breaks. (Just when we think Oh I got it! He says not yet☺ ) And we are confused until a new concept gets formed.

Guruji said this is the way that Krishna took Arjuna from one step to the other towards perfection.

He said neither fools nor enlightened get confused. It is the intelligent who do. So if you are confused be happy,that you are intelligent. Confusing is’nt it?

Never mind, I feel it doesn’t matter if we are intelligent or fools. Lovers are anyways called foolish. But only a lover knows what joy is in being intoxicated in love is’nt it?
And when the love is for a Satguru who showers his love and grace every moment of life ,life truly becomes a celebration."

Someone asked Guruji “Is it wise to share the knowledge taught in the Art of living course with people not on the spiritual path”,this is what he said

Who gave you the right to judge that these people are not on the spiritual path? Anyone who is seeking happiness, love and peace is spiritual. Only these people are seeking in the wrong place, so when they get tired they would come the right way. The other seekers are those who choose the short cut and look in the right place( seva ,sadhana, satsang).

He added there are only these two kind of seekers in this world. So it is ok to share knowledge with everyone.

So if you are sitting on a dining table and tell someone ‘accept people and situation as they are’ and this person comes and slaps you, you better accept this person☺

(There were around 4000 people for Guru Poornima celebrations in Chicago)
