Guru-seva is the highest blessing

– Shri Hari Babaji

Guru-seva is the best path to God-realisation. Nobody can be more worthy of worship than SatGuru. The words of Guru are shastras. Each and every word of his is priceless. The abode of Gurudev is the abode of bliss, verily the abode of Vishnu (Vaikuntha). The disciple should apply himself diligently in the service of Guru every moment. He should serve his Guru with the unity of mind and body. Guru-seva is performed by sacrificing one’s own happiness. One should forget completely his mind, food and drink, sleep, etc. while rendering service to Guru. One should not be aware of personal existence or individual mind. He should be completely unaware of body consciousness. He should not serve with the feeling that ‘I shall get benefit.’ One should serve the Guru as per His will, keeping His happiness in mind, by gauging His mood. He alone is a true disciple who understands the mind of His Guru (when Guru will require what) and without receiving a verbal command from Him, follows the signals of His eyes. Shri Gurudev is supremely kind. He cannot help showering grace. He is engaged every moment in the search for someone worthy of his grace, that ‘If I find someone, I shall give the gift of Love to him.’ Guru continues to search for a true servant. He follows him constantly. The disciple should always work according to the attitude of his Guru. He should be engrossed in doing service so deeply, that he does not remember even his body consciousness. This is the highest blessing.
