sathguru


sathguru,
way he knows,
he shows
he lives,
tells how to live
he has no doubts,
clears all doubts
He walks, yet is a few millimeters above the earth, untouched earthly
he talks, yet his message is silence
he works, yet he leaves no mark,
he sleeps, yet he is awake witnessing his sleep
every thing inert
every being animate
hillock to high hill, tiny stream to flooding river
every jeeva from ameoba to manava to great baba
are gurus
universe is a mirror to teach you how you are and how you can be
Teacher is not to teach
student is to learn each
intelligent learns from the worst
dull gains not from the best
Best teaching is silence
best teacher is silent
gurosthu mouna vyaakhyaanam
shishyath chinna samshayaa
[dakshinamurthi sthothram, adi sankara]
guru's silent commentary cleared shishya's doubts
