________________ Dedication... Selfless And Satisfying ! On the day of Gurupurnima, would you want to give something to your Guru or do you expect something from him? Is it a day to give or is it a day to receive? Should we receive something or should we offer something? Gurupurnima is an auspicious day. It is a day when you want to devote everything to your Guru, even though you may not get any material benefit from him. Surrendering everything to someone from whom you are not going to get anything, this is Paramatma's governance. One offers everything to a Guru and expects nothing in return. In the world, most relationships are of a give and take nature... but where you just give and do not expect anything in return, this is called true devotion. A person from whom you do not expect anything, do not wish for anything.••when you do not get into any sort of calculation but still like to devote yourself, surrender everything to him, to the extent that you are ready to forget your existence, he is your Guru! Till date, whatever you have given to the people is with a selfish expectation to get something in return and when you do not get what you had expected, you feel irritated. You should never calculate when you give anything to your Guru. The day you surrender to your Guru, a give and take relationship no longer exists.
