There is no room for enmity, hatred or malice in the heart of a true devotee of guruji. A true devotee has a pure heart. Only when we renounce our ego and unreservedly surrender to guruji can our heart be purified by his grace. Spiritual knowledge and pure selfless devotion can only emanate in a pure heart. Selfless service is the best way to receive gurujis grace. Only his grace can grant us unwavering faith and unflagging devotion. Even if we pray to him to grant us these blessings, they cannot be received until the heart has become pure. We need to eradicate ego-based negative qualities from our heart and mind but for this to transpire, the ego needs to be dissolved first. We need to overcome our identification with our ego-based illusory self and recognise our true authentic self. A simpler way to understand this would be : Do not consider yourself superior to or more special than others. See the divine essence of God in ALL. All are his children - interconnected to each other through the divine self which dwells in all. They have been placed in a particular role or position in this lifetime based on their past and current life karmas and sansakaras. They may choose to follow the path of righteousness and selflessness and ascend to a higher spiritual level. Or they may become egoistic, selfish and misguided by the sanskaras which predominate in kalyug, making wrong choices and commiting sins and misdeeds resulting in their descent to a much lower level. Each one has been given the gift of freewill. God does not interfere with the free will of any individual. It is only our previous good karmas which draw us to the path of spirituality. If we have commited exceedingly good deeds, only then do we find a true Guru. Therefore, dear sangat, we are extremely fortunate to have found both God and Guru in one : OUR GURUJI ! LET US MAKE OURSELVES WORTHY OF HIS GRACE ! JAI GURUJI !
