Importance of Guru in our life

First of all I would like to wish you all a very happy Guru Purnima. Guru Means who bring us from darkness to light and give us the true knowledge. In our Vedic Culture there was concept of Gurukula and every disciples used to stay and serve his spiritual master but due to modernization everything has been changed and now there is no concept of Guru and Disciples.

 Guru gives us transcendental knowledge the knowledge which we can not achieved by our own. Now a days people are trying to be more intelligent but they don't want to server their spiritual master therefore  they are only getting information but no knowledge. So we must understand the importance of Guru in our life. In Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna has already explained the process of how one should go and surrender to his Guru and get benefit of true knowledge.

And one should never accept Guru just for fashion but to accept and follow his instructions to get rid of Birth and Death cycle.

 तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्न‍ेन सेवया ।

उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः ॥ 4.34 ॥

Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.

The path of spiritual realization is undoubtedly difficult. The Lord therefore advises us to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciple succession from the Lord Himself. No one can be a bona fide spiritual master without following this principle of disciple succession. The Lord is the original spiritual master, and a person in the disciple succession can convey the message of the Lord as it is to his disciple. No one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process, as is the fashion of the foolish pretenders.

I put my humble obeisances unto lotus feet of my spiritual master who can only give us the liberation from bondage of this material world.

Happy Guru Purnima.
