00:00When we are worshipping the gurus, are we worshipping his body or his soul?
00:05No, his development, so whatever his knowledge he is giving, so according to that development we are worshipping.
00:13Oh, our guru, he is having so much knowledge, so that knowledge we are worshipping.
00:19Not pure soul, we don't know about pure soul.
00:23Suppose somebody is a sadhu, somebody is acharya, somebody is upadhyaya.
00:28In worldly, some teacher of KG, some teacher of higher secondary, some professor, some principal.
00:37So these are the category of development of knowledge.
00:41So which is development? So I am worshipping some guru, so really physically we are seeing body,
00:48but whatever he is explaining, he is giving knowledge, that level, his level is that stage.
00:55So we are really worshipping that stage only.
00:58Then why should we keep the photographs?
01:00Because through this physical body, physical body is just a clothing like that.
01:07So physical body is not giving knowledge.
01:10I am giving knowledge through this body, through this speech, through this action,
01:14but really physical body doesn't have any knowledge.
01:18So knowledge is of my knowledge, so I am that part.
01:24That part is what I am experiencing is my stage.
01:30My knowledge, my understanding, my experience is my stage.
01:33So at that stage I am giving this knowledge to everybody, but through speech, through body,
01:40I came through this body here.
01:43In one world we can say egoism is giving this knowledge.
01:46Egoism is I am guru, I am teacher, I am professor, I am principal, I am husband, I am believer,
01:53I am that person is a guru. Egoism is a guru.
01:57He is giving knowledge and we are also accepting by egoism,
02:02I am shishya, I am disciple, I am follower of this person.
02:06So I is getting knowledge and I is giving knowledge.
02:11Soul is separate and body is separate.
02:14In between there is a development of ego.
02:17Developing ego is getting knowledge and it will develop higher stage.
02:21Then he will give knowledge to others.
02:23That person is also going to develop.
02:25Like that worldly development is going on.
02:28Development of knowledge and understanding is only last development.
02:34Through some media, some word or meditation of some mantra,
02:41chanting some mantra, by worshipping.
02:44But everything is knowledge and understanding is going to develop.
