Success Through Surrender
There are eyes that seem to look at us through time, through space and through ages. They are eternal glancing from beyond through every mask we wear into our core being and speak to us. They caress us gently like the cool breeze on a balmy summer evening through the haze of an amber sky across palms as bending over waters on distant islands.
I gazed at my Master's eyes ever so fleetingly and kept turning away as they kept beckoning me and asking me to pick up the book on whose cover these beautiful divine face was printed. I kept turning away for in my ego state I kept judging my guru, Paramahamsa Yogananda. How am I to know or decide if he was a true guru? How do I know he is not one more from the far east who arrived on the shores of the west and gave a nation and its people an escape from their reality.
It was almost two hours before I picked up the book and read the first line, and that was it. Very soon three hours had passed with me reading and reading each line in the book and devouring myself in this time that was over a century old. Nearing midnight as we were leaving our host's house, I requested to borrow the book. The lady of the house said "take the book and keep it. My husband read it over 300 times and it is OK for you to take the book". Never in my life I could read a book more than once so I never understood how one could read a book 300 times. Nor could I understand how someone was so glad to give up what the other cherished so deeply.
The next morning I began my journey along with my master through his life, days, his loved ones and fellowmen. The time frame in this book spans over half a century and I was so thrilled with my divine blessings. After the book was over, I experienced a state of depression and wondered as to how could I be blessed by this mahan-yogi (divine teacher) or even be graced by a speck of the dust of the ground on which he once tread. I now understood how a man could read this book 300 times, for I was ready to read the book all over again. But I did not want to live my life this way. In my heart I prayed every minute that I would somehow be graced by this technique of God communion; this connection with spirit, merge into God consciousness and make my master's experience mine.
In less than a month, I found a flyer which said that I could be initiated into the path through a lineage of realized masters. I contacted them and in less 2 months I was flying into Miami and into my guru's ashram to be initiated into the path of kriya yoga. I have been a student and a practitioner of this divine technique and teachings. I truly believe that every aspect of my being is divinely blessed by the masters and enlightened gurus and through my extended family of brothers and sisters through my guru's heritage.
All that is unwanted in my life is being taken away from my life and everything that is helping me in my growth onwards and upwards I keep receiving everyday in every way through chance encounters and divine blessings.
I just thank God for his grace in my life, Gurus (saints of all religions, ascended masters and enlightened teachers) for their guidance, and all creatures big and small for their love and sharing their life and blessings with me in my journey through this life time on planet earth and beyond.
Sharing with you love, peace, abundance, prosperity and radiant health & vigour. Jai Guru!
