Guru Geeta - Datta Vaakya 13

🌻 Until you make your decision, Guru will not accept you as a disciple. Once this mutual agreement is made, Guru will never leave you. 🌻
We have said that you can take your time to decide about Guru after much deliberation. But once you have made your decision, you have no right to reverse the decision and reject your Guru.
Until you make your decision, Guru will not accept you as a disciple. You have to explicitly state that you have accepted this Guru. Your own mind is your witness.
Once this mutual agreement is made, Guru will never leave you. There is mutual trust between the two. Neither of them can break the bond.
Even if you reject his help, Guru, whose compassion is immeasurable, will still follow you lifetime after lifetime to rescue you and protect you because of the worship that you had offered him earlier, and the trust that you had placed in him to begin with.
He has to fulfill the boon that he had granted you earlier. The story of Bhadraseela in Sri Datta Darsanam stands as a proof for this. One can listen to this story any number of times.
Once you accept a Guru, if you reject him and accept another Guru, you will be the loser at both ends. You cannot escape it. You must remember this.
The story of Devendra proves this point. Indra’s position is earned by the performance of 100 Asvamedha yagas, and great penance.
As long as that merit is preserved, the position lasts. But despite reaching such an exalted state, many have fallen from the position by committing mistakes.
Indra once accepted Brihaspati, the Guru of the gods as his Sadguru. Under his guidance he was able to suppress the demons and he ruled his kingdom in comfort.
After some time had elapsed like this with no disturbances in his reign of the three worlds, Indra’s mind got diverted towards sensual enjoyments and luxuries.
There was no anxiety about any attacks from the demons. There was no fear of war. There was no demand for any effort and there was no fear.
Many people maintain their health only when they remain in a state of fear. Indra had everything going very smoothly. He had plenty of prosperity.
But now his mind was drawn towards pleasures. When one has too much wealth, there will be no inclination to engage in charity, or to help the needy.
The coffers will be full and overflowing and that will naturally lead to extravagance, and lavish and wasteful spending for bad habits and addictions. Let us see what the future holds for such persons.
