What is the best form of Guru Bhakthi (devotion to Guru)?
We can grow spiritually only if we see the guru as the manifestation of God. Once we choose our guru, we should surrender completely to him. Only then will spiritual development be possible. Devotion to the guru means total surrender to him. Self-Realization is not possible for anyone without the blessings of a guru. Think of the guru as the manifestation of God in this world. Take even the most insignificant word of the guru as an order and obey it. That is the real service to the guru. There is no greater austerity. The guru's blessings flow automatically to any obedient disciple. THAT IS THE REAL GURUSEVA OR SERVICE TO THE GURU. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and non-living thing in his world learn to see everything as the guru's body and to serve them accordingly. The disciple must have the same love and attachment for the guru that a child has for its mother.We should disclose everything to our guru and hold back no secret from him. Then only we can have spiritual growth.
ASHRAMS and the GURUKULAS ARE THE PILLARS OF SPIRITUAL CULTURE. If we perform sadhana according to the guru's advice we need not go anywhere else. We will get whatever we need from the guru. DEVOTION TO GURU MEANS TOTAL SURRENDER TO OUR GURU.
