understand a guru, even if you live with him for a 100
          years, you will never completely understand him. He is
          too great for us mortals to understand. As Guruji often
          said,  “Jithe  tuhadi  soch  khatam  hundi  hai,  othe
          meri soch shuru hundi hai.” - “Where your thoughts
          end, mine start.”

               Out of a million disciples, if even one becomes pure
          and changes his life for the better, a guru is very happy'
          One must surrender oneself completely to his guru and
          even after the guru leaves his body, he should continue
          to  live  in  tne  way  his  guru  had  taught  him.  This  is  a

          guru’s temple,  he  is  indeed  highly  blessed,  but
          remember,  he  is  also  under  a  test  and  thorough
          scrutiny of his guru. During sewa if another disciple is
          rude to you, do not react or be rude in return. This is
          the first test you will be subjected to. Let go of your ego
          and  be  polite.  Even  if  the  other  disciple  is  being
          unreasonable, always remember, your guru is watching
          and  he  himself  will do  justice. It  is  not  our  job  to  get
