When Mind Says to Drop Attachment to the Guru - 28th August 2017

Which will discount... okay, so I'll share from them. Anytime the mind can also play this trick that you better drop this attachment to the Guru. It'll come. It's like saying if we feel like we are drowning in the ocean and we are holding on to some rocks, some seaweed or something, trying to keep ourselves from drowning, and then the Master comes and he gives out his hand. He's sitting in a boat, so he gives out his hand and the Master says, 'Let go. Let go of everything else, hold my hand.' And then the mind will come and say, 'But you have to let go of everything.' Then you not only let go of the seaweed and the rocks, but we also let go of the Master's hand.

The Satguru has said that even this one is his problem. When he knows that we are safe, be sure he will. We need to remain empty of all other worldly attachments. If you find that there is attachment for the Guru, even this attachment is his problem. As we empty our hands of phenomenal attachments and we become open like this, that is when actually the Guru was holding my hand. And this hand is not let go of in a worldly way; this hand-holding actually becomes a communion or a merging.
