Devotee Becomes God

Devotee Becomes God
When a river meets the ocean, the river no longer remains a river. It becomes the ocean. A drop of the ocean is part of the ocean. In the same way, the moment a devotee meets (surrenders to) the Divine, the devotee becomes GOD. When the river meets the ocean, it recognizes that it is the ocean from the beginning to the end. Similarly, the individual "IU IU" dissolves in ONE Divinity.
Question: What about backwaters?
Guruji: Sometimes the ocean goes into the river to greet it. Sometimes it seems that the ocean is pushing back the river. Similarly, the Divine puts many questions and doubts in the mind or gives an amazing experience to bring one back home.
========================
Life teaches you the art of letting go in every event. When you have learnt to let go, you will be joyful and as you start being joyful, more will be given to you.
========================
"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian. Think about it."
========================
When you try to resolve the problems of others, see that you do not get muddled up. Do it with this little sense of detachment, then it works.
========================
Q: How to deal with attachment on the spiritual path?
+Guruji: When you are aware of the attachment, then your behavior will naturally become balanced.
========================
Q: Guruji, will doing regular Sadhana (spiritual practices) solve all my problems?
Guruji: You first do it and see. If they get solved, then that is good. At least you will not be at any loss by doing sadhana. It will give you the strength to face those problems and overcome them. You are only going to benefit by doing sadhana. There is no loss or harm that can come to you by doing sadhana. By sadhana, either your problems will ward off beforehand, or you will gain the strength to solve your problems.
Om Namah Shivay
