Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlighted the importance of incorporating "The Art of Living" philosophy for a meaningful life during the unveiling of the Somnath Jyotirlingam relics, emphasizing wisdom for societal transformation.

The unveiling of the sacred Somnath Jyotirlingam relics by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Delhi was a momentous event.

CM Gupta connected the event to the global impact of "The Art of Living," particularly its efforts in promoting peace, environmental conservation, and societal well-being.

CM Gupta praised the organization’s efforts and reiterated her commitment to continue the Yamuna cleanup and host a grand Maha Aarti.

Gurudev highlighted the spiritual significance of the relics, linking them to India’s spiritual heritage and promoting unity under the "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" philosophy (One World Family).

The event included cultural performances, spiritual teachings, and addresses from distinguished leaders, all underscoring the transformative power of spiritual practices and collective action.

She acknowledged Gurudev’s leadership in initiatives like cleaning the Yamuna River and contributing to environmental sustainability.

Conclusion: Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasizes that unwavering faith drives millions to the Maha Kumbh Mela and asserts that the Ganga River possesses self-purifying qualities that inhibit bacterial growth.

Key Arguments:

1. Faith as the Central Force: The profound devotion of devotees propels their participation in the Maha Kumbh Mela.

2. Ganga's Self-Purifying Nature: Scientific studies suggest that the Ganga River has unique properties preventing bacterial proliferation.

Supporting Details:

Massive Participation Driven by Devotion: The recent Maha Kumbh Mela witnessed over 67 crore (670 million) devotees taking a holy dip since January 13, showcasing India's rich spiritual heritage.

Scientific Validation of Ganga's Purity: Despite reports of high faecal coliform levels, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar references scientific experiments indicating the Ganga's robust self-cleaning capabilities, aligning with long-held beliefs about the river's sanctity.

Spiritual Significance of the Holy Dip: Immersing in the Ganga is viewed as a transformative act, elevating one's spirit to higher consciousness and facilitating a return to one's true nature.

In summary, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar highlights the deep-rooted faith inspiring massive gatherings at the Maha Kumbh Mela and supports the notion of the Ganga River's inherent self-purifying properties, as observed in scientific studies.

CLOSE TO THE MASTER

Weekly Knowledge #2⃣

Big Sur, California

21 Jun 1995

CLOSE TO THE MASTER

If you're not feeling close to the Guru, it's because of you. Because of your mind, because of your ego concepts. Share with the Guru that which is very important or intimate to you. Share that. Do not feel shame, shy, or judgmental about yourself.

Unless you express to the Master that which is very intimate and important to you, just being on the formal and informal communication levels cannot make you feel close. "How are you, where are you going? How have you been?" Stop formal and superficial conversations with the Master and speak with your heart that which is very important and intimate, very deep to your life. Don't just say how much the squash costs, 30 cents or whatever.

If you don't feel close to the Master, there's no point in having a Master. It is just another burden to you. You have enough already. Just say "Goodbye," get rid of it.

Question: When you play little games and push us away, how can we feel close to you?

Answer: You should feel more close if you are pushed away, scolded or ignored. Because to ignore somebody takes a lot of effort. When a Master does not even ignore wrapping paper, or a flower that is in a vase, how can he ignore a walking, talking, breathing human being who is connected? How could that be ignored? So when you understand this, you already feel close.

Question: Can we call you every week?

Response from the room: Call Guruji every week and if he doesn't answer the phone then you know you are loved.

Answer: Yes, put that in. (Laughter)

You are with the Master to share the joy of the Master, to share the consciousness of the Master. For that, you have to empty your cup of what is already in it. So you share that with the Master. You share whatever you have and don't judge, "Oh, that is garbage." The Master is ready to accept any garbage of any extent. However you are, he will embrace you. He is ready to share. You only have to share from your side.

🌸Jai Guru Dev🌸

 गुरु के समीप

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

यदि तुम खुद को गुरु के निकट अनुभव नहीं कर रहे हो, तो इसका कारण तुम ही हो।

तुम्हारा मन, तुम्हारा अहंकार तुम्हे दूर रख रहा है । जो कुछ भी तुम्हारे लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, अंतरंग है, उसे गुरु के साथ बाँट लो, बता दो । संकोच मत करो, शरमाओ नहीं, इस पर स्वयं अपना निर्णय मत लो। 

यदि तुम अपनी आंतरिक व महत्वपूर्ण बातें गुरु को नहीं बताओगे, केवल साधारण शिष्टाचार वाली बातें करोगे, तब उनके साथ निकटता का अनुभव नहीं कर सकोगे। "आप कैसे है? कहाँ जा रहे है। सब कैसे चल रहा है?" ऐसी नियमित और ऊपरी बातें गुरु के साथ मत करो। अपना हृदय खोलकर मन की गहराईयो में समाई आंतरिक व महत्वपूर्ण बातें करो। सिर्फ यह मत कहो की शरबत की बोतल का दाम क्या है ।

यदि तुम गुरु से निकटता अनुभव नहीं कर रहे  हो, तो उन्हें गुरु मानने की आवश्यकता क्या है? वह तुम्हारे लिए एक और बोझ है। तुम्हारे लिए ऐसे ही बहुत से बोझ हैं । बस अलविदा कह दो।

प्रश्न: जब आप ही हमें कभी-कभी दूर रखते हैं, हम आपके साथ निकटता कैसे अनुभव करें?

श्री श्री: यदि तुम्हें दूर रखा जाए, डाँटा जाए, तुम्हारी ओर न देखा जाए, तो और अधिक निकटता अनुभव करो। क्योंकि किसी की उपेक्षा करने के लिए भी बहुत प्रयत्न करना पड़ता है। जब गुरु किसी उपहार के सुन्दर आवरण, अथवा गुलदस्ते में रखे हुए एक फूल की  भी उपेक्षा नहीं कर सकते है, तो फिर वह एक चलते फिरते, बोलते,साँस लेते व्यक्ति की, जो उनसे जुड़ा है, कैसे उपेक्षा कर सकते हैं ? जैसे ही तुम इसे समझ जाओगे, निकटता का अनुभव होने लगेगा।

टौर: क्या हम हर सप्ताह आपसे फ़ोन पर  बात कर सकते हैं ?

केनी: गुरूजी को प्रति सप्ताह फ़ोन कीजिये और यदि वे आपसे बात न करें तो समझ लीजिए कि वे आपको प्यार करते हैं।

श्री श्री: हाँ, यह ठीक हैं । ( हसी )

तुम गुरु के साथ उनके आनंद, उनकी चेतना के सेहभागी हो । इसके लिए तुम्हें अपने आप को खाली करना पड़ेगा ।

जो भी है, गुरु को बताओ और यह मत सोचो- " यह तो कूड़ा है "। गुरु तुम्हारे मन के सरे कूड़े को लेने के लिए तैयार है। तुम जैसे भी हो, वे तुम्हें सीने से लगा लेंगे। वे तुम्हारा बोझ हल्का करने के लिए तैयार हैं। अपनी ओर से उसे देने के लिए तुम्हें तैयार होना हैं ।

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
