On this Panchami a small note for sadhakas.
Many ask “I have done sadhana for 10 years and I cannot see the Devata yet. Is my sadhana correct?”
And: The very fact that one is doing sadhana for long is an indication that Kripa of Bhagwaan exists.... in this age, it’s unusual.
There is a word in Patanjali’s Astanga Yoga: “Ishwar Pranidhana”
It comes last. There is a reason why it comes last.
Every sadhaka no matter how great, no matter how small, no matter of x or y path,....eventually comes to realise of one’s insignificance.
Then hand of God is seen
That leads to the step of Ishwar Pranidhana.
Which in fact is the direct manifestation of the spontaneous realisation that the Bhagwan you were searching for is present all along and directing your path every step of the way... no matter how many ditches you fell into.
The Guru Gita literally takes the level of Guru to the highest.
Dattatreya had 24 Gurus... a bee, an ant and to this day (he is considered an immortal, he will honour them).
Life is like that, an immortal recognises an ant as his Guru, while others throw parents into a ditch.
The entirety of sadhana manifests between the step of Guru showing some path, no matter how insignificant ... that leads the sadhaka into some sort of experience and realisation.... eventually comes Ishwar Pranidhana BUT “Nasti Tattwam Guru Param”
That is why Guru is considered higher than God... path itself is the Devata and merely showing the path is itself one of the most powerful things which someone can experience.
That rna is impossible to pay back... that is why Guru is given that place. He merely represents Shiva
