102. గురుకృప (Gurukrupa)
Having known the nature of self, one likes to discharge the functions that are aimed at serving the Master. Attachment to such work many times becomes a bondage and it is guru krupa alone that pushes a person to the condition of jeevan mukta.
The problem here is that the person wants to come again and again and serve. A very very sarcastic statement on this is what you find in Reality at Dawn where Babuji Maharaj says ‘I do not know why people want to come again and again as bhaktas’. They wanted to come as bhaktas to serve the Master, that is also a bondage, a nuisance. We are drowned in a cup of honey, we have to come out of it. It is no doubt a happy state to serve the master. We start thinking why not I come back again and say ‘there are so many other souls here that are not served by me. Should I not serve them?’ and come back. We don’t become jeevan muktas. Many people desire mukti but do they want? Once they know I think they will not ask for it.
