To get grace of Sadguru, follow him (Swamiji smiles..). Choose any method to offer seva, including cleaning the temple premises. Seva brings Sadguru’s grace. It is not essential to exhibit your devotion before others. Your conduct in your spiritual life takes you through the various stages known as grace, spiritual knowledge (jnana) and liberation (moksha).

Often, people suffer from problem of pride, i.e. pride of wealth and pride of knowledge or intelligence. Such persons turn into losers and they distance from Sadguru. Sadguru however remains unaffected when s devotee leaves him and goes away.

Sadguru helps the devotee without becoming emotionally attached to him. In reality, attachment that we show to others in this world is a drama. It is unreal. For instance, newlyweds believe that they will suffer even they are separated from each other for even a minute. After 30 years, where is that attachment in that couple? This is the way of the world.
