solved it. The student scratched his head for six months, and came back with folded hands saying, "I want to do my thesis by the path of devotion." The teacher said, "Okay, pick up this gunny bag and fetch some grass for the cow. Take this bag and get some vegetables from the market. My children want to go to a movie so get the tickets.” So his service started and he got his Ph.D. degree.
These methods may apply to a guru, but one thing is sure, with one hand he holds the hand of the disciple and his other hand is in contact with God. He understands the language of the disciple and also that of God, so he tells your problems to Him and conveys His orders to you. When he feels that the gap between the disciple and God has been bridged so that they can communicate with each other independently, he removes himself. This is the state of bliss. The disciple is blessed because he has attained his ultimate aim, and the guru is happy because his job is finished, and God is happy because he has found the right receptacle.
This was the reason why, when Paramahamsa Satyanandaji realized that Paramahamsa Niranjanananda needed no guru, that he himself could communicate with divinity, he removed himself from the scene. That is his renunciation. A second example was seen when Ramakrishna Paramahamsa made Swami Vivekananda experience a vision of Mother Kali. He realized that his disciple had reached the ultimate goal and he vanished from between them. The disease of cancer was just an excuse. If he had not died of cancer, he would have removed himself by some other means. You can see a third example in Mahatma Gandhi. The aim of all his disciples was the attainment of independence, and the day India became independent he removed himself from the scene, renouncing everything. Nathuram Godse who shot him dead was just an excuse. If he had not shot him, Gandhi would have gone by some other means. So in this way, I thank all the gurus and express my gratitude towards them.
After this I would like to thank God himself. Whether or not God exists has been a topic of never-ending debate between atheists and believers. In my view the reality is a topic for research, but in my limited brain I interpret that God is nothing but time. If you understand the importance of time, you have realized God. In our bureaucratic system of physical and mental organization the senses are the officers of lowest
