The word Guru means heavy.

Guru is a heavy cloud, that waits for your thirst - to pour down.

Guru is a flower, heavy with perfume - waiting for you to sense it.

Guru is heavy with energy and the unknown.

Guru is heavy with the Divine - heavy like a woman pregnant.

Guru is a ripe fruit, waiting to fall - heavy.

Guru is ready to pour down - only your thirst is needed. A thirsty earth is needed.

Subdued transcend to the eternal

Un-subdued get mired in unconscious confusion.

Wedas emphasise sacrifice.

Sacrifice needs fiery intensity.

Among all gods, Murugan personifies fire - as Shiva personifies space.

And he is known as Agni Bu hu.

Amara's Thesaurus lists him as
Senaani hi, Agni Bu hu, Guha ha.

Formless self that dwells in the cave of one's heart, finds expression in the world, as flame and fiery intensity.

Two kinds of retractions need to happen, for a human to evolve.

One happens by not paying much attention to senses - visual, listening, smell, taste and tactile.
This is known as Samam - and it leads to the experience of Shanti.

Another happens by not pampering the mind.
This is known as Damam - and it leads to Danti.

-  Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi.

Buddha's full moon

In Buddhism there are 2 sects.

One is known as the Hinayana, the small vehicle.
Other is Mahayana, the great boat.

Mahayana is the path of Tantra and Hinayana is the path of Yoga.

Escape to safety

Sometimes Tilopa surpasses even Buddha and Jesus. Maybe because Buddha talked to the masses. And Tilopa is talking to Naropa.

When you talk to a very evolved disciple, you can bring the highest down. Talk to the masses - and you have to make compromises.

Jesus had very ordinary disciples, in that way, very ordinary. And his teachings could not go to that height, where Buddha can go easily.

But nothing to compare with Tilopa. He searched for a single man, an evolved soul - Naropa.

That's why the teaching has taken a flight, to the very farthest corner of the sky.

Dewi damanam '18

There are 2 paths - path of a warrior and path of a king.
Yoga is the first, Tantra the second.

Almost all religions follow the path of yoga, the path of subjugation.
A soldier, has to follow.

A king simply lives loose and natural.
Tantra does not use conditioned reflexes.
It says you have to flower into a perfectly awakened being - not like a robot-like mechanism.

Suddenly it comes, when you are ready. Even footsteps aren't heard.   It has bloomed.
