Please understand, always have
God and Guru both in your life.
Carry the feeling-connection for
both in your life.
You may ask, why, is Guru not
enough? Or, is God not enough?
Please understand, however
strong you may be, at some time
you will not be able to have
complete trust over Guru. Your
feeling-connection towards Guru
may get shaken a little bit. At those times, you need God to hang on to, you need God to hold on to; you need God to keep your spiritual practice and spiritual life alive.
Sometimes, your feeling-connection with God may not have a practical value for solving your many day-to-day issues. At those times, feeling-connection with Guru will help.
At one time, feeling-connection with God and feeling-connection with Guru will merge into each other, and you will just experience God and Guru as one. That is okay. When it happens it happens.
But now, when you begin your practice, when you begin your spiritual life, always have God and Guru both, so that you are saved. When I say ‘when you begin’, I mean, till you get enlightened! This is for everybody! I have seen how some people who had only God never progressed in their spiritual life, and those who had only Guru sometimes dropped out. If you have both, even if your trust and feeling-connection towards one of them is shaken, your trust feeling-connection towards the other will keep your spiritual progress alive.
