________________ at HIS feet. In such a state, one loses the consciousness of body and mind. Life does not feel the same again. Parmatma's commandments, HIS guidelines and HIS directions become the sadhana and breath of the devotee. No matter what, in every action, every place, and everywhere in the world, he only visualizes Parmatma. Because of this constant thought of Parmatma, a seeker becomes detached from the worldly life. There may be many saints but a Guru is only one, the one and only...! A Guru is the one who dispels the darkness and brings light, radiance and joy. 'My Bhante' guides me through the path of life and realize the truth. For one who wants to achieve the ultimate goal, even a moment is enough... whereas for others, even an entire lifespan is inadequate. Disciple Jambuswami, asks his Guru Sudharmaswami, with deep emotions: "O Bhante! What does the soul attain by keeping faith in religion?" His Guru who is like Parmatma for him, answers... "When the seeds of faith for religion... of surrendering in religion... offering to Guru and religion, are sown, the plant bears fruits of eternal peace, contentment and happiness.
