Surpass Your Guide
You should scale up to saying 'I am like Siva Shankar Baba'
Hanuman glorified Rama. Rama will be proud to say ‘Hanuman is my man’. Padmapada glorified Adi Shankaracharya. If your student gets a state rank, as a good teacher will you not be proud of that achievement? You will not be jealous; you will be proud that your student has bagged a state rank.
Like that, I will be happy if a person who comes to me excels me. I mean it. You should be a better person than your own guide / own teacher.
So, do not simply end by saying ‘I like Siva Shankar Baba’. You should scale up to saying ‘I am like Siva Shankar Baba’. I will be more proud, really proud, if you say ‘I am better than Siva Shankar Baba’. That is what I want.
Understand the beauty of the Soul. Start dwelling in the soul, as the soul. Concentrate on the Inner Light
