As usual, I wanted to start my day-to-day work by checking my e-mails. I connected the Tata Photon in an effort to connect with the internet. No response and I tried quite a number of times, connecting then disconnecting and reconnecting again. But to no avail. Then I tried my Reliance Net connect. Somehow it seemed to go through immediately. But later, again some connectivity problems occurred. Then I tried a photon +. Things finally worked out for some uninterrupted duration of work.
This set me thinking – of our connectivity with The Almighty. If we equate God to the Internet then a Guru can be equated to an Internet data card. Because he helps you connect with God. Just like you cannot connect to the Internet without a data card, you cannot connect to the Lord without a Guru. But, just like which data card works well with your computer, it is for you to realize and decide which Guru may work for you.
But in case you have a wi-fi connection, that is you are part of a system, even without a card, you can get connectivity. Parallel to this, if you are part of a group who is spiritually connected then probably your connection with God can be established through that wi-fi.
Now, in any case it is your decision how you want to establish connectivity. But, at the same time, you also have to be sure of which Guru, or rather what kind of Guru is going to be the right one for you. Like if an ordinary photon doesn’t work fast to establish an internet connection, then you go in for a photon +, which has more efficiency and power. Similarly, if an ordinary Guru doesn’t seem to work for you, you may go in for a ‘Guru +’ to enhance your connectivity with the Omnipotent.
After all, your focus is on getting through with the connection… to God. You don’t want an error message saying –“the… remote… host… did… not… respond”. So why not search for a “Guru +” for better results?
