Trev Light Bown:- Why do you give God
man Meher Baba such high regard yet paint Guru in general as "I"
thought awareness still lost in duality.
Nothing wrong with Meher Baba or any God men. They attract the followers that see truth in their words.
A God man Guru can be like a stage hypnotist, the entranced followers swoon in bliss for a time.
SK:- There is no need to
discuss about Godman or guru in length because they are part and parcel of the duality.
Whatever I have to say about them, I have
conveyed to your noble self and they are unimportant subject matter in pursuit
of truth. Instead one must discuss ‘what is real?’ and ‘what is unreal?’ . What is Atman (soul or
spirit)? and ‘what is Anatman(mind or matter) ? On what standpoint the universe is unreal?
How? and why? . ‘What is real?’ and ‘why
it is real ?’, in order unfold the mystery of the universe (mind).
Judgment based on the false self
(ego or waking entity) leads untruth. People go on judging other people, and they
do the same with themselves. People go
on judging their thoughts, their actions, what is good, what is evil, what
should have been done, what should not have been done; and they are constantly
creating conflict and conflict is part of duality. Till there is conflict the duality
will remain as reality.
Man continuously goes on judging
creates anguish in him. Even those with whom we have no concern, we go on
judging: this person is noble, that person is evil. This is attitude of the
most of common people. In pursuit of truth we have to discriminate between ‘the
real and unreal’ and ‘truth untruth’ by finding out ‘what is real?’ and ‘what
is truth?’ to discard the ‘unreal or
untruth’.
The business of the guru or Godman
is not the concern to the seeker of truth. The seeker of truth is concerned about realizing
the ultimate truth or Brahman. Therefore, he has only to appreciate only about the wisdom propagated by the any guru or god men and he will reject the
unwisdom.
