For the birth of a new life, we need two – mother and father. For the birth of a higher nature, two are also needed – Guru and disciple. Without Guru, just as without our parents, we would not exist. The presence of a Guru is a great fortune. The blessings of the Guru are timeless, and like a ray of the Sun piercing the darkness, this blessing can pass through thousands of years and many incarnations.
"You are all great souls," Gurudev Pilot Babaji always says. Buddha, Christ or Krishna are Great, but each of us is an Ocean in which Buddha, Christ or Krishna are only waves on its surface, and we are the Ocean. We are nothing but the Ocean. There is no need to think that we are something different from this Ocean. To realize one's greatness is to become very, very silent. After all, when we become silent, the waves on the surface calm down and the Ocean manifests itself. Everything we think about ourselves is not us. Today we think about ourselves one thing, and tomorrow our opinion changes and a new wave arises, followed by the next one. These waves have no end and no edge. Stop being waves and you will become the Ocean.
Everything we need is within ourselves. Guru is within us. Guru, both outside and inside us. When the waves calm down, it becomes obvious and understandable. The Guru has been with us from the beginning and is waiting for us to go inside ourselves. Wandering through the world will never end, but you have to stop and go inside yourself. When this happens, it can be considered a new birth. ("In order to enter the Kingdom of God, it is necessary to die and be born again" - says the Great Teacher from Nazareth. Jesus was great and divine.) Only when we have intention to stop and reject everything that is not us, everything our mind has told us about us – there can be meeting with the Ocean, there can be meeting with our Guru within ourselves. But this requires intention. Talking and thinking about it do not lead to anything. There must be an intention. Everything starts with an intention.
When the mind is ready to surrender, the Ocean will surely come. Every river has its beginning, but it has no end. When a river leaves its two banks, it becomes an ocean. Our life is like a river, and its two banks are like a pair of opposites that constantly accompany us. And when the Guru comes into our life, it means that it is time to become the Ocean, it is time to part from the shores and accept your divinity. It is not possible without a Guru, just as it is not possible to be born without our parents. Parents give us life, and we remember it, and Guru gives us Eternity, and death, as a subtle elusive essence, can already rest.
Respect for our parents opens the door to success. Interacting with a Guru is filled with a special relationship beyond the understanding and competence of the mind. Each disciple has his own unique and individual relationship with his Master, which is as unique and inimitable as fingerprints. If we believe in the divinity of the Master, then we also believe in our own divinity. If not, then we will always see what we want to see, and the mind very skillfully paints this picture for us.
I, Yogi Isha, bow my head with love and gratitude at the feet of my Master Pilot Babaji, and ask Shiva and Parvati for health and long life for Babaji.
