THE PRECEPTOR AND HIS PLACE
Nowhere in
the world the preceptor is honoured so high as it is in the East. He is equated
with God, nay given a little higher place than the Omnipotent too. Among the
three most worshipful earthly gods - Guru, Father and Mother, Guru is one, who
combines in himself all the three aspects of the Trio - Bhahma, Vishnu and
Maheswar. Highly evolved souls pray first to Guru, and then God, if ever by
chance they appear both at a time. The reason is not far to seek - The Omni
compassionate God created millions of objects - animate and inanimate for the
blissful existence of MAN deemed the crown of creation, but concealed their
inherent potentialities, utilities etc. Deliberately he left the key of that
treasure with a powerful medium to explain the nature, forms and use of
everything seen around, meant for putting to optimum benefit. And only through
that medium man can make his career glorious and lead the less fortunate, or
dependents proceeding towards the Everest of beautitude.
