Sree Rama Krishna Parama Hamsa
Sree Sarada Maatha
THE SERVANT EGO
If you feel proud, do it in the thought that you are the servant
of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of children. They are always
children before God, so they have no egoism. All their strength is of
God-belonging to and coming from Him, nothing of themselves.
When the idea has been perfectly assimilated, the man will
retain only the appearance of having the feelings and impulses of his won. Even
if the egotism of the servant or the worshiper should remain, he who has
attained to God can hurt none. The whole sting of personality has vanished. The
sword has become gold by the touch of the philosopher’s stone. It keeps its
form but cannot wound again.
Relationship between Guru
and disciple
A man was disputing about the character of his Guru when the
Master said, “Why are you wasting your time in this futile discussion? Take the
pearl and throw away the oyster-shell. Meditate on the Mantra given to you by
the Guru and leave out of consideration the human frailties of the teacher.”
Listen not to any one censuring your Guru. The Guru is greater
than your father and mother. Would you keep quiet when your father and mother
are insulted in your presence? Fight, if necessary, and maintain the honor of
your Guru.
The disciple should never criticize his Guru. He must implicitly
obey whatever the Guru says. A certain couplet in Bengali says: “Though my Guru
may visit the tavern, still my Guru is holy Ray- Nityananda; though my Guru may
visit the unholy haunts of drunkards and sinners, still to me he is my own pure
and faultless Guru.”

DIVINE POWERS AND QUALITIES
The Avatars are born with
Divine powers and Divine qualities. They can go into and stay in any state of
realization from the highest to the lowest. In a king’s palace a stranger can
go only to the outer quarters, but the king’s own child, the prince of the
house, is free to go to every corner.
