Story-day is for cultural exploration, puraanas and parables and finding out about leading lights in spiritual philosophy.
As this month is the fullest focus of all from Chinmaya Mission upon
Gurudev, each remaining 'Storyday' of May will be taken from the book "Unto
Him", which is sadly now out of print. There is, though, a wonderful group
of books published by Chinmaya West, called the Mananam Series,
which is highly recommended for reading about Gurudev and the mission in general.
Gurudev wrote;
Guru is not a person, he is a personality, an institution. He is the
radio through which the Lord contacts the student. When a student meets his
Teacher, it is always a miracle. In fact, it is Love at first sight. He is
immediately attracted to him and his words ring a bell. Another speaker may
speak better, but only his Teacher will attract him.
If, in case you get the rare privilege of meeting such a Master, and
you happen to really understand a little of what he says, then progress has to happen. It is unfailing. It is very
productive. Whenever anyone meets his Teacher, it is always a miracle.
If, in case you are benefitted, do not forget that the Teacher was
brought to you by Iishvara, total vaasanas, of which a part were yours; and
remember there is no difference between God and the Guru, the corporeal entity
before you.
Therefore be on the lookout when you meet a Master… Search! Seek!!
Fulfill!!!
