If by chance that
medium points to the wrong direction, they or the nation falls into the abyss,
instead sitting atop the highest peak. It is that medium in human form is called
GURU and to be placed over and above the Providence; the real provider of all,
in fact. What an exulting office! How much honour!! Who else can rise to that
level!!!
In
the west too, the Preceptor guided the destinies of people and nations through
their illustrious pupils. Some of them became immortal and continued their
tradition through academies formed with the munificence of the courts, but a
comparitive study convinces
that India - the seat of ancient wisdom stands supreme. And it owes all its
glory to the Gurus, who sitting in the sequestered sublime spots situated far
from the madding crowds, availed the darsan of the Viswarupa of that Vignana by
the powers of into tion and passed it on to the posterity form mouth to mouth
down the ages. If the nation is what it is today, it is all due to those
celebrated masters. Their jnanajyothi has been burning resplendent, despite
lighting up other candles to illumine the dark hovels in the distant dark
continents.
