Bhagawan's Thought for the day 13th July 2011

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Guru Poornima is dedicated for thanksgiving to the Guru, for, the Moon (the presiding deity of the mind) today is full, clear, cool and bright! He has no blemish or dullness that diminishes his glow. The Guru too is pictured and praised today as unblemished, bright and affectionate. He is tolerant and truly peaceful. He is the living example and embodiment of the virtues he desires us to develop. He removes the faults in vision and destroys the darkness of ignorance. He reveals the Aathma (Divinity) to the individual and makes him free. Hence Guru Poornima is dedicated to such Divine Gurus. In fact, God, the God within, is the Guru of Gurus. His Grace can make the blind see, the lame walk and the dumb speak. By a mere touch, He can demolish the sins of the past and create peace and joy. Vyaasa is the first Guru who demarcated the path and the goal. So he is associated with the Poornima (full moon) day.
