     If you pour the ocean of words,even can not describe the attributes of a real Guru.

     All glories to revered Gurudev dear blessed soul Ashwin.

     And do you know,what was the reply of revered Gurudev? Here it is:

     मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।
     मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायणः॥

     manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī mām namaskuru
     māmevaisyasi yuktvaivamātmānam matparāyanah||

     “If, taking refuge in and with a total devotion of the Self to me,
     you contemplate, remember with humble reverence,
     and worship only me,you will attain to me.”

     Remembering none except HIM and restraining the mind from having any thought that is not of him, firm devotion, incessant meditation and recital with humble reverence, and a total absorption of the Soul in him, are the prerequisite for true devotee as well as any other worshipper’s realizing the immutable, eternal Supreme Spirit within him.

     And:

     मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु।
     मामेवैष्यसि सत्यं ते प्रतिजाने प्रियोऽसि मे॥

     manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṁ namaskuru|
     māmevaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo’si me||

     “I give you my sincere pledge, because you are so dear to me, that you must attain to me if you keep me in mind, adore me, worship me, and bow in obeisance to me.”

     Arjun was exhorted earlier to seek refuge in the God that dwells in the realm of the heart. And now he is prompted to find shelter under Sri Krishn. He is also told that in order to find this sanctuary he has to listen again to the Lord’s most sacred words.

     Doesn’t Sri Krishn intend to communicate by this that finding shelter under a noble teacher-preceptor is indispensable for the seeker who has taken to the spiritual path?

     Humble Wishes!!!
