inspiring personality of the greatly
Enlightened Master. Que. 8 : If we don't get such a preceptor what
should we do? Ans. : Ceaselessly keep up the search of Eternal
Truth, always try to be in the company of the noble and regularly study the scriptural-truths while maintaining high standards of ethical code in personal life. Be in a close search of the preceptor during pilgrimage, because in present times, the Enlightened souls live in solitude and continue to tread the path further. If the search for the preceptoris really genuine one always finds such 'Guru' and the seeker of the truth succeeds in attaining the bliss of self - realization provided he ceaselessly
strives to attain his goal. Que. 9 : Justify the total devotion to 'Guru'. Ans. : By performing the same, the disciple's
attention remains engaged in sublime activities and expression of the 'Guru', he is overwhelmed by his super-hunan virtues and his indolence ceases. This gradually leads to rise of self-knowledge.
The worship of the 'Guru', thus being able to confer multiple advantages, should be scrupulously followed.
