Clarification of doubt -2






Is it possible for a person to receive the grace of a Guru who has renounced his body?

Dear friends , sharing a question asked by one of the seeker with its answer.
The guru is not just a physcal body but basically a principle hence even if the saint renounce the body , He is able to guide his disciple . Hence it is told saints never die they just do deh tyag (leave thier gross body .)
There are two factors resposnible for spiritual guidance, fist being  the spiritual level of the disciple or the seeker and second factor, the spiritual emotion (or bhav) of that person for the saint or guru or guru tattva (the guruprinciple) . The guru of the highest order (the paratpar guru above 90% level ) can guide thousands even after leaving their bodies , e.g.  His Holiness Bhaktaraj Maharaj, Shirdi Sai baba, Swami Ramkrushna Paramhansa, Raman Mahrshi, Adiguru Shankaracharya of India have the capacity to guide thousands of seekers even  renouncing their bodies.
One important thing that should be kept in mind is that to receive the guidance of saints subtly one need to be at minimum 60% level which is nearly a saintly level, as a layman in kaliyug (present time) is at 20% level and most of the seeker at 35% to 50 % level there are chances of being misguided by the sorcerers ( the powerful negative energies from nether world ) and hence either once should abide by the teachings of one's master(guru) after he leaves  His body or seek the guidance of some other saint for spiritual guidance . The best example of a disciple learning something from the guru principle is  Eklavaya, he learnt archery from the guru’s statue and the guru being totally unaware of it. But he had immense amount of bhav for his guru hence when the guru asked to cut his right thumb as a a part of his guru dakshina , he offered it immediately .  Not to mention Eklavya was at 60 % spiritual level and the guru Drona asked this kind of dakshina to prevent his disciple from the sin of guru avadyna (disobedience of guru’s directives). The disciple faces the worst hell if he does not follow the guru directives . I would like to mention here that few ignorant people say that since Eklavya was not born in a higher class hence guru Drona did so , a guru never discriminates his disciple on any grounds and guru Dronaacharya was also a guru who would never do such a sin !
