Happy New Year
Gist: Those who become satisfied by accepting a Guru, thus limiting their Satsang, place obsticals in their spiritual progress. True and intense seekers that desire their own salvation, never stop anywhere. They are not stalled by anyone or anything until they have attained enlightenment. They will not limit themselves by considering anyone particular person as their Guru. If there is intense longing for God Realization, God Himself will aid in placing the true seeker with right associations and great Souls.
Mark of a True Seeker
Man makes someone a Guru and says - "Mein sagura ho gayaa hu, maine guru dhaaran ker liya, mein niguraa nahi rahaa." i.e. I now have a Guru. I have accepted a Guru, I am no longer without a Guru," believing this, he becomes satisfied. This outlook will become an obstical in his spiritual progress, because he will thereafter not consider anyone else as his Guru, he will not do satsang with other spiritual Souls, he will not listen to spiritual lectures and discourses by others. All this will be an immense roadblock in attaining salvation.
In reality, those that desire their own salvation, they will not stop at any place by considering anyone particular person as their Guru. Rather they continuously inquire and remain intense seekers of their own salvation. They will never be spiritually satisfied, till they have attained enlightenment. Not only that, but even on attaining enlightenment, they do not get contented, rather contentment and satisfaction just naturally happens in them. This is their state of helplessness !
One should be content and satisfied when it pertains to past actions and the fruits that are destined to come. Also under favorable and unfavorable situations, one must remain content. But one must never be satisfied, in vigor over new aims, goals, actions, and in realization of God. Rather until one has not attained enlightenment, a true spiritual seeker must never stop anywhere and must not be stalled by anything.
If God Realization or Self Realization is not being attained or is not happening inspite of an association of a great Soul or staying in an Organization, then there is nothing wrong with changing the association of the great Soul or Organization. Many Saints have done this. If there is intense longing for Realization, and you do not desire to change the association of the great Soul or Organization, then God will forcefully change these. On changing these, all will be alright.
