Guru Asks For Nothing But Your Co-Operation
Guru Asks For Nothing But Your Co-Operation
I can say, living around the Master without resisting is the definition of living enlightenment process. All you need is this: whatever you think as your intellect, your efficiency, your energy; just cooperate with that; that's all. If he asks you to sit and unclutch, how much you can, just do that, nothing more.
See, if you fall into unconscious, means if your mind drifts away somewhere or if you fall asleep it's not under your control; then don't worry about it; don't have guilt. But as long as you are aware, as long as you have back bone to sit, as long as you have awareness to unclutch, do it. That's all, nothing more. If he asks you to chant the mahamantra, as long as your energy is there in the throat, as long as you can hum, do it; that's all nothing more.
See when you feel you can't do anymore, just your body falls, either falling asleep or your mind has drifted away somewhere, then nothing can be done. It's not under your control. So you are not asked to do things which are beyond your control. No. Just do the things which are under your control; that's enough. Whatever is beyond your control is under His control. Whether it is handling your anger, handling your hunger, handling your fear, handling your greed or handling your life, anything, do as much as you can, with the clear intention that you will do as much as you can, that's all; nothing else, nothing less, nothing more.
As long as you identify yourself with the higher reality, living around the Master is the ultimate celebration and liberation. But when you identify yourself with the lower realities other than the Master, the big problem that happens is, the intellect starts developing very logical principles to go against the Master.
