A . CARDINAL NOTES ON GURU-BHAKTI  :- 8 - 78 to 85.
Swami Sivananda.

Chapter VIII

A . CARDINAL NOTES ON GURU-BHAKTI  :-8 - 78 to 85.

8. The Worship of the Teacher  :-78 to 85.

78. There is no service so beneficial and so soul-elevating as that of the blessed Acharya. 

79. No real rest can be had except in the service of Divine Master. 

80. Grace of Guru gives real meaning to life. 

81. Service of the holy Acharya without any selfish motives gives a shape to the life. 

82. It is a great blunder on the part of seeker after the truth to say “Na Guru na sishya” after studying some Vedantic Texts independently. 

83. Some time Guru suffers physically on account of taking disciple’s sins. In fact Guru never suffers from any physical diseases or ailments; but it is only a rare chance given to the disciple to purify his heart by serving him with great (devotion) and earnestness. 

84. The sublime thought of the blessed Acharya will help the disciple to rise above body-consciousness or glamour of a sensual life. 

85. ‘Upa’ means near, ‘ni’ means down, ‘sat’ means to sit. So Upanishad means sitting down near the Acharya. Groups of pupil sit near the preceptor to learn from him the secret of doctrine of Brahman. 

Next : 9. Impartment of Mystic Teaching - 86 to 97.

To be continued ..

Chapter 18. The Power Of Thought-14.2. 14. Clear Thinking-how It Is Accomplished-2 The images are not clear, strong and well-defined. You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will become firm. Through right-thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded. Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts. Do not allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th
