Gurus know best we not imitate blindly: but we must learn the sadhana

 

Gurus know best we not imitate blindly:

but we must learn the sadhana what guru did which enabled him to arrive at the stage of teaching , 

and do that sadhana ,intensely, as done by guru, --- thru which the deepest teachings of guru become our natural inner nature , and become the living reality , without reading, reciting, memorizing any teachings 

the mistake normally committed is, the student out of ignorance or innocence comes to the conclusion that he must follow the teachings, spread the teachings, conform to his dos donts ---all become fruitless exercise struggling to achieve the impossible , life time wasted without reaching the goal .

a great guru says ---do not imitate me , you cannot succeed , but you put in sadhana in the way i put in , then you will gain those abilities what i have gained, and will be able to lead the life i am able to 

example 
one seeing an athlete lifting a very heavy weight , can never lift it however much he tries to , inspired by him , in existing level 

but if he does the daily gym and food specs prescribed, he will surely , after enough sadhana inputs, he will be able to lift the weights, even can lift heavier weights

 

Praising my favorite athlete, doing pooja to his photo, reading and spreading his great capabilities and accomplishments , keeping record of all his performance and medals won, wearing the dress like him, ----life long with all sincerity, devotion, faith, and hope ------all will never make me athlete. unless i do the sadhana myself whatever is possible / feasible without wasting time on his glories .

 

nothing is a substitute for sadhana , and student should never be under delusion, riding piggy back on guru, nor carrying guru on piggy back .

if following the teachings is so easy , then all of us would have become instantly masters, since teachings have been there since ages from every guru, saint, mahathma

who does not know what is good and what is bad ?

every one knows.
still , knowing that, man has been doing bad, why?

knowing is not enough. 

what is required is the ability to do good , like that weight lifter, and it is possible only after having acquired the ability , one can lead a good life .

so one must put the efforts to acquire the abilities--- is the firm conclusion ,and essence of every teaching and the life of ever master

any agenda of propaganda is waste of time, waste of life, is no good use of the essence of teaching
