Why do we attribute the human form to God?

Because it is impossible to comprehend the form of God,only through concepts and imagination.Therefore,through symbolic and manifested form we can have the personal experience of His form.God has been incarnating in human form to make His identity easier to us.

How does one take out time for the "Guru Path" under the constraint of time in ordinary life?

Living an ordinary life has been difficult in every age,not in the present time only.Leading an ordinary life means going along the social and family life.It is easy for those who have left home and taken to ascetic way of life,but it is a greater problem to follow this path while living in physical world looking after the family and social commitments.We are searching for 'Guru Path' to find solution to this problem only.This becomes easy and there is not much difficulty in it. Only will power and divine inspiration is required.In the first stage nobody can take 'Guru Path' completely.It requires a reading of books on this subject ,reading the life stories of Gurus,keeping purity in one's conduct etc., gradually the thoughts of Sadguru will grow in his inner self.Under this condiion he will find a Guru somewhere .More correctly he will draw the attention of the Guru who has the divine capacity to see through merits and demerits of everyone and the thought process of all his devotees.It is said that the disciple cannot find a Guru ,but the Perfect Master finds out his disciple certainly.As Baba said ,"I draw my devotees from thousand of miles".In life full of difficulties it is a true endeavor to develop the qualities of compassion,forgiveness and service.Selfless service is the goal of Guru.It may be concluded that initially one should begin with obeying the Guru for smaller duties given to Him,and gradually one should move ahead for bigger jobs.While undergoing life's struggle whatever qualities one develops those remain permanently with Him and become a part of His soul.These qualities are carried to the next life.In the next life also he will be getting the help of Guru to evolve further.
