Guru Gita

153

In and out it's same for pot, sea of water, milk in milk and oil in oil

Like wise the sky, soul is same in and around as the supreme soul.

Shiva says: if a pot dip in oil, it's oil in and out, similar is in milk or water. Thus under the sky, the pot is same; same condition will be to the soul in us; it is same as the supreme soul, in and out. 

Yoganada was in a hurry to meet God. He thought he could see God through some great yogi in the Himalayas. When he asked permission, the Master said, Mountain cannot be your Guru. However he got the address of a great disciple of Lahiri Mahashaya, a sleepless saint in Ranbajpur, and set out. After a tiresome search, and prayers, Yogananda cannot reach the yogi Ram Gopal. But the Yogi reached Yogananda, and asked: " Tell me; where do you think God is ?" Yogananda said " Why, He is within me and everywhere." 

"All- pervading? Then why you didn't bow before the infinite in the stone symbol at Tharakeswar temple?" " Holy shrines like Tarakeswar are like nuclear centers of spiritual power. Yoga is the highest path towards God.  Mountains cannot be your guru, return to your Guru, he will do everything you needed in apt time."

Oh God, we too have no patience. God, give your divine vision, bless us, Oh God.
