poem on guru poornima
Answers
Answer:
MY MASTER
Lost. Lost to life and death,
Both I did, but moved me not
A man who walks with a stick
Comes to me, the able-bodied one
Having seen birth and death
And all that life can bequeath
Still sitting dumbstruck,
Here comes the man with a stick
To have me struck
With his lightning stick.

MY MASTER

Both I did, but moved me not

To have me struck
With his lightning stick.
My Guru has always been the most important influence in my life. Even today, it is His presence that is most prevalent in my head – more than in my mind, literally in every crevice in my body and every pulsation in my system. Because of this, everything reverberates, including things that aren't about me but far beyond me.
Though his contact transported me to the highest level of experience – a revelation of life and beyond – I did not see my Guru as a guy who touched me. Unless it came from Shiva himself, the old structure within me would not accept it. My Master transformed himself into that shape out of compassion.I'm not sure if this was his act – that he acted this way – or if it was how he was at the time. But since then, I've been in a position where I don't have to try to learn anything new. He and He know everything I need to know.
