The Fulfilling Guru-Shishya Relationship

In this talk, Swamiji glorifies the most sublime of all relationships – that of the Guru and Shishya. Just as for objective learning one goes to the academic centers and learns from the teachers, in the subjective knowledge also, to attain fulfillment and harmony, one has to go to a Guru with total surrender and humility.

In the Guru Parampara tradition, the Knowledge is wholesomely transmitted by the Guru to make the shishya like himself. The disciple surrenders with his mind and heart to the Guru and gains the trust of the Guru, who takes the shishya on the journey within. Thus, the Guru helps the Shishya discover the goal of life, by removing all his ignorance and realize the infinitude dimension of the Subject Presence within, through comprehensive discussions, and critical evaluations.

The Guru-Shishya relationship is in tune with the infinite harmony. It is very important for the shishya to surrender to the Guru and be completely attuned to the Guru and consider it as the greatest fortune and blessing of his life.
