________________ Dedication... Selfless And Satisfying ! The person who uses his brain always faces a question, why should one person surrender everything to another person? An intellectual person will appreciate what his mind can make sense of and criticize what his mind does not agree with. Similarly, he may appreciate or criticize the saints and nuns. As such, in spite of going to religious places for many years he may not achieve anything. This is due to continuous calculations or evaluations being made by his mind. The person who can help you get out of this calculative and evaluative mode is a "Guru" and Gurupurnima is a special day that you should devote to him. You have read and heard many a times that you should have a Guru that you cannot live without, that only a Guru can save you from this worldly affairs, that you cannot attain salvation without a Guru, etc. But a person becomes a “Guru” to you only when you feel that nobody is yours expect him and that you do not belong to anybody else but him. It would not matter to you if the Guru saves you or drowns you.
