Yes, I don't do pujas to MMY, as I am not a teacher, and I still affirm he is my Guru Dev, as he is my living fount of "divine holiness". What does one's Guru Dev do but show you one's own divinity, one's own Self? How does S/He do this but by showing one how to "back up" or relax into Him, into Her, into deeper and deeper Wholeness of the Self? Clearly his Guru Dev conveyed this grace to MMY, and it is through MMY that this grace embraced me.
I don't say MMY is *his* Guru Dev, though in truth, from the devata- particle-me POV, the particles don't see any real difference between the ordinary-"Absolute"-me, the MMY-me, the Guru Dev-me, or the Shiva-me. However, there is at the same time a distinct lineage of grace-transmission from Self to Self to Self, and it seems clear that in spacetime, the predecessor always is "deeper" into Being the Self than the successor. No doubt it was MMY's keen awareness of this that caused him to keep our attention on his Guru Dev. With all gratitude to his Guru Dev, I still must give credit where credit is due -- and as far as this "me" is concerned, MMY is the living fount. If my saying this were to cause him to scream and drive me from his presence, then so be it. Love is Love and Grace is Grace, no matter the appearance :-) JGD R --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, t3rinity <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "sparaig" <sparaig@> wrote: > > > > > I know what he's said and done in the past... > > > > Try to be more in the present.
