Come to a Guru to Lay Your Mind Open

In this talk, Swamiji addresses students who had come for a Sadhana Retreat to Narayanashrama Tapovanam, Kerala. Swamiji, expresses that he is not freely expressing His love, fondness and endearment to the students, as they are not open with their thoughts and emotions to him.

It is not possible for the Guru to expose the Truth, with no restrictions, if the students have restraints, rigidities and fear in thinkings that prevent them from not laying their mind open, despite coming and living with the Guru for a prolonged time. Sharing openly with the Guru makes the inner personality expansive. One should go to a Guru only to lay his mind open before him, so that he can read it very well and tell the student which are the areas in which he should improve.
