Guru & Me!

Me: What is my purpose in life?
Guru:Purpose is simple,don't look far.See God, experience God , not in your temples , not in your books but within you , in your heart & soul. Find me there and your purpose in life is served.You are a river keep flowing and I flow with you, look within for all that is outside is only a reflection ,an illusion.You are the truth, you are him.Realise this and you are free forever.
Me: What is this sudden upheavel within me & outside of me?
Guru:What you call upheavel is that really an upheavel? It is a churning, it is reaching out to self-realisation while lot of things pull you back.It is getting rid of elements which have served their purpose in your life. It is further experiences which you must have before you find yourself.The voice calls you now. Without these experiences the iron of your soul in not hot enough for me to stike.
Me:Why are things not getting clear to me?
Guru:Are you sure they are not getting clear? When have you felt this strong a longing to unite with your being?This single minded urge? Time has come seize the moment.
Me:Why do I feel so tied to people, esp. to people I am related to by birth?
Guru:Is a tree related to anyone by birth or the river,or the stars or the wind? Then why you? You are their karma and they are yours .All your life people will come into your life because of karma.But learn to let go when its over.All of them come to give you a chance to close chapters, even people you feel tied to by birth.If god wanted you to be tied to them forever he would keep you in Mother's womb forever and not send you in this world as an individual, A whole new human being.
Me:Why do these relationships affect then?
Guru:Because you are attached. And not just to people, to things as well.You lose a watch you are affected, you see a person you are related to unhappy you are affected.You are so attached and this in itself is ironical.You are a free spirit, why do you want to be like a bonded slave.The world you live in tells you that you are less of a human being if you are not attached and you believe it.How can you be attached? Attachment needs a past and a future but the soul exists only in the now.Leave the past it has served its purpose and its gone, future never comes so wat are you attached to?
