Role of The Sadguru in Our Life

The Sadguru gives the ability of God realization to the deserving human beings. He removes all the impediments in the path of spiritual evolution of any human being who comes in contact with Him in any way. Sadguru breaks the wrong and illusory concepts (maya) of a devotee collected through a few lives of his existence. All human concepts are relative and illusory in nature. When ignorance is dispelled by the Guru the disciple’s inner knowledge gets illuminated itself. The true knowledge is veiled by various concepts taught to us from childhood and experience acquired by us. Therefore, it is necessary to shed them before the mind is free to accept new and truthful concepts.

For a man who thinks that he is the most intelligent person, the Sadguru wipes out his ego of intellect till he realises that his intellect was full of follies. He works upon the human society intensely in a way so as to ensure that human beings transcend their human limitations and attain a limitless state of God, which is their original state.

The Sadgurus are without the bindings of any past Karma. In them, the seeds of all past Karmas both good and evil are burnt. They are in a state of ‘Karmik Vacuum’. As per the law of nature nothing can remain in a state of vacuum and gets filled by outside pressure. Therefore, the effects of Karmas of all living beings coming into the Sadguru’s contact enter into that vacuum. This is the truth whether one knows it or not. This work is carried out by the Sadgurus, for all the souls coming into their contact in any manner what so ever.

The ‘Law of Compassion’ of nature works spontaneously through the Sadguru. For example, when a horse was beaten up at Shirdi, Baba’s back bore the whip marks. This was a spontaneous reaction. Even the diseases and pains of the devotees are automatically transferred to the Guru. Whenever any devotee of Baba was in pain, Baba naturally used to experience it in His subtle body and some times in His physical body.

The moment a devotee had a thought or ‘bhava’ in his heart for Baba or called Him mentally, a vibration or a ray of subtle thought form instantly reaches the Sadguru.

As Baba used to say “Be wherever you are and do whatever you like, I will know it even if I am thousands of miles away from you”.
