গুরু কে ?

গুরু এক, কিন্তু উপগুরু অনেক হতে পারে। যার কাছে কিছু শিক্ষা পাওয়া যায়, তাকেই উপগুরু বলা যেতে পারে। ভগবতে আছে, অবধূত এইরূপ ২৪ টি উপগুরু করেছিল।

একদিন মাঠের ওপর দিয়ে যেতে যেতে অবধূত সামনে ঢাক ঢোল বাজাতে বাজাতে খুব জাঁকজমক করে একটি বর আসছে, আর এক দিকে এক ব্যাধ একমনে আপন লক্ষ্যের দিকে চেয়ে আছে, এত জাঁক করে যে বর আসছে, সেদিকে একবারও চেয়ে দেখছেনা। অবধূত সেই ব্যাধ কে প্রনাম করে বললে, “তুমি আমার গুরু। যখন আমি ভগবানের ধ্যানে বসব তখন যেন তাঁর প্রতি অরুপ লক্ষ্য থাকে”।

Swami vivekananda's letter to Alasinga perumal(disciple of swamiji)

DEAR ALASINGA

We have no organisation, nor want to build any. Each one is quite independent to teach, quite free to preach whatever he or she likes.

If you have the spirit within, you will never fail to attract others. Theosophists' method can never be ours, for the very simple reason that they are an organised sect, we are not.

Individuality is my motto. I have no ambition beyond training individuals up. I know very little; that little I teach without reserve; where I am ignorant, I confess it as such, and never am I so glad as when I find people being helped by Theosophists, Christians, Mohammedans, or anybody in the world. I am a Sannyasin; as such I consider myself as a servant, not as a master in the world. . . . If people love me, they are welcome, if they hate, they are also welcome.

Each one will have to save himself, each one to do his own work. I seek no help, I reject none. Nor have I any right in the world to be helped. Whosoever has helped me or will help, it will be their mercy to me, not my right, and as such I am eternally grateful.

When I became a Sannyasin, I consciously took the step, knowing that this body would have to die of starvation. What of that, I am a beggar. My friends are poor, I love the poor, I welcome poverty. I am glad that I sometimes have to starve. I ask help of none. What is the use? Truth will preach itself, it will not die for the want of the helping hands of me! "Making happiness and misery the same, making success and failure the same, fight thou on" (Gita). It is that eternal love, unruffled equanimity under all circumstances, and perfect freedom from jealousy or animosity that will tell. That will tell, nothing else.

Yours,

VIVEKANANDA.

"One must have reverence for one's Guru. One's chance of salvation lies in one's reverence for him. Observe how the disciples of the Master revere him. Out of this reverence for him they revere not only all the members of his family, but even the cats from his home-district!"
