The Guru Accepts

I am ready to accept from my disciples everything that you have and everything that you are. If you only want to give me the good things, that is not right. You should give me both the good and the bad. If you have fear, doubt or any negative thoughts, look at my picture and throw all your obscurity and impurity into me. Do not worry about me. I will throw these negative forces into the Universal Consciousness. But if you hold on to these things, you will only suffer. Today you will have one wrong thought, tomorrow you will have a hundred wrong thoughts and there will be no end. When these negative thoughts enter into your mind, you have to know that you actually become weak. It is as if a heavy burden has been placed on your shoulders; so naturally you become tired and exhausted.

How do you throw negative thoughts into me? Let us say that you are jealous of someone. When you are jealous of someone, you are inwardly communicating with that person and offering him your jealous thoughts. In your mind you are formulating thoughts or is ideas, and then you are consciously directing them to him. In the same way you can throw these ideas into me instead. The moment you talk to me inwardly, you have to know that you are giving me your thoughts.

When you do your morning meditation, if your sleep was not disturbed and you have not accumulated any mental garbage during the night, then there may be nothing undivine that you have to give me. At that time you can enter into me with joy, love, peace and all divine qualities. When you do this, it is like a child dealing with his own father. A child goes to his father with such joy to give him a penny that he has found in the street. The child could have used the penny to buy candy, but he felt the necessity of giving it to his father instead. And the father is so pleased that his child has given him his own possession that the father gives the child a dollar.

For my disciples, I am your spiritual father. If you give me something good or positive—a little love, a little joy, a little gratitude—then immediately I will give you boundless love, joy and gratitude in return. I will give you immeasurably more than what you have offered me. But if it is something bad that you are giving, then it will enter into my inner ocean and I will take care of it.
