This message was written by a deeply devoted disciple from India, in Hindi language, which was subsequently translated in English for the larger audience world-wide.  The devotee was blasted in the bliss of supreme happiness of Life-Divine without any remnant whatsoever of the divisive activities of the shoddy little mind! This happened in his body during the Retreat (in Hindi language) at New Delhi (India) in the third week of July 2014. Two months’ delay in releasing this important message is sincerely regretted.

The Sat-Guru-Process is like a sweet scented flower.

Just as the fragrance of the Jasmine lingers with us long after our departure from its proximity, so did the fragrance of understanding overwhelm the body, when ‘me’ was perhaps melted through the induction from the Guru-Process.

This happened during the recent Delhi Retreat and some Swadhyay occurred thereafter in this body. This mysterious process of induction from a Guru in a perpetual state of emptiness, is being placed at the feet of the Magnet – the Guru - as an humble offering. 

For things material, there is a Law of Gravitation. Newton, being a scientist of physical world, could notice falling of an apple from a tree and propound the Law of Motion and said that things fall from height due to pull of gravitational force of earth.

People usually think that heavy objects are pulled with greater force than lighter ones. But this is not true. Galileo, proved that it is only the resistance of air that affects the rate of dropping of a heavy and light object because it provides an opposing force – that of the mass of air.

There is a similar phenomenon in humans too. There is already a ‘resistance’ to living in the Natural state in all humans due to the Gunas (traits and tendencies) one is born with and subsequent conditioning of cultural inputs which together constitute the contents of human consciousness – “mind”. And while there is no fall or rise in the normal sense of the word, one may say that these Gunas prevent or slow down the Ascent of Life in a man from the state of corruption of the mind. The Universal Intelligence acting through the Sat-Guru’s body induces this rise, but the Gunas & minds slow it down and reduce the effect of the ‘induction’.

And, coincidentally, in Sanskrit the gravitational attraction is called Gurutwakarashan (Attraction of the Guru - Mass). So is this induction phenomenon a Gurutwakarshan (Attraction of the Guru - Process) in the spiritual world. Etymologically, the meaning of the word “Guru” is “Heavy” as also the Guru as Teacher. The Guru phenomenon of attraction behaves in a quite similar fashion towards the Mass as also towards the Disciple.

The apple that falls to the earth in the physical world also pulls the earth towards it but the mass being so vastly different the movement of the earth towards the apple is not noticeable. The mutual pull is noticeable only when the difference in mass is not so large. Similarly the Guru while attracting and inducing Intelligence in the Shishya is also pulled towards the Shishya but again when the Energy of Understanding and Intelligence is vastly different, the latter movement is hardly noticeable.

Patanjali, Guru of the spiritual world, had given a sutra (Law) – “Yogah Chittavritti Nirodhah” in his ancient book “Yogasutra” indicating reducion of the pull of the traits, tendencies and conditioning (mind) and thereby ushering in the natural state of human being i.e. the state of Yoga. In his treatise, the Seer had termed the natural state of a human being as “Swarupe Awasthanam” and had defined it as the state of supreme Insight (Chaitanya).

The Supreme Intelligence acts equally on all; big or small, good or bad. Sun does not discriminate against anyone while giving its light; nor does the gravitational pull. Similarly, Intelligence --- and the Guru-Process through whose body It may act --- also draws every disciple with the same compassion.

Patanjali had shown a scientific process to be available to natural state or a state wherein mind does not interfere. He named that process as “Kriyayoga” in his book. Unfortunately, Seers who actually understand these sutras (not those who have just crammed them or those who only pretend to know to do business in the spiritual market) are very few.

Presently, in a world full of so-called “Gurus”, Shri Shibendu Lahiri is one of the very few who is in the Natural State and hence knows these sutras in actuality and teaches them accordingly.

Jai Guru
