@Regrann from @thelifeofayogi - The guru lives on through his teachings. And yet I tear when I sit still on this spot. Far harsher is the pain of separation than the scorching summer sun. Far sweeter are the tears of his memories than any mango from a neighboring grove. His teachings live on through my reflections on strides and leaps, on faults and stumbles Here rested one of the greatest souls to touch this Earth. Not because he built temples or was awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records. Not because he traveled the world and put his sectarian community on the map. Not because he was my guru or even the guru of many accomplished heads of state. But because he taught tens of millions like myself that love is the only way to release His message of bhakti resonates through the mouths, voices, and actions of millions-- irrespective of caste, creed, religion, community, and gender. And it resonates in this social media post today Bhakti is to rise above identity and notions of the self to love and to teach others to do the same. Bhakti is to love even when others hate. Bhakti is to love the other as much as you love your own. Bhakti is to love until there is no other. Bhakti is to love the world and erase borders and boundaries. Bhakti is to belong and at once not He did just that #bhakti #sarangpur #swaminarayan #hinduism #guru #imisshim #love #selfless #gujarat #india #religion #caste #creed #color #race #gender #beyond #sectarian #universal #message #memories #separation #reflection #spiritual - #LifeKC (at BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, Sarangpur.)
