FAITH AND SURRENDER
Now one of the most important means Rev. Babuji talks about is the Master. The help of the guru is another means here. In tradition the Guru gives us the ‘Mantra Deeksha’ and then the matter ends. His role ends there. He doesn’t do anything. Whereas in the system of Sri Ram Chandra the active assistance of the Guru is there till the end of our Sadhana, which means sadhana even after our present form of existence. It doesn’t end with our present form of existence. It goes on till our sadhana is completed. A stage of swimming in the Ultimate, till that stage comes, the help goes on. The guru guides us. Now how do we choose that person? This is one of the major problems today that we are confronting. It is not by the capacity with which he talks. It is not by his capacity to attract crowds. It is not by his ‘Aura’. It is not by any one of his external features. But by the internal peace we get in the presence of another person. This is the yardstick given to us, and that person shall serve us as a servant of his Master and without any motive of gain of any type.
