GURU BHAKTI: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir, what is the best way to do GURU BHAKTI?
Teacher: Obviously it is by trying to do what He likes most, trying to follow him to the fullest extent.
Student: Our Guru Brahmachaitanya Shri. Gondavalekar Maharaj asks us to practice NAMASMARAN. Is it enough?
Teacher: Of course it is enough! But it is not possible for many of us to practice NAMASMARAN 24 hours of the day; and also; to be totally involved in it! Hence they offer their services in the form of; doing pooja in early morning, cleaning of the Samadhi temple, cooking, serving food, cleaning vessels, looking after the cows or as in my case; to articulating and sharing my understanding of NAMASMARAN with others! This helps to remain oriented to NAMASMARAN.
Student: We also share quotes and other matters related to NAMASMARAN on net!
Teacher: Great!
Student: Sir, but still I am not satisfied.
Teacher: This is because; our physical, mental, intellectual and financial involvement in this activity; as a service to Guru; is still superficial. As our involvement goes on increasing and as the mega process of NAMASMARAN begins to reach, where it is unknown; we would begin to get the satisfaction of service to Guru or devotion to Guru i.e. Guru bhakti.
In fact; whatever may be the nature of services; according to variable constitutions and capabilities; they give satisfaction, when our involvement is substantial and not superficial. In short, we would find that our satisfaction is directly and exactly proportional to our involvement in our service!
Student: I understand what you mean!
Teacher: However; this intense satisfaction is also; next to that of the advanced stages of merger in NAMASMARAN!
