In this Session, Ma emphasizes that Gurusannidhi becomes meaningful only when we reflect on the words of the Guru and apply them in our actions and interactions.

Guru is one who has realized the Truth and has a firm conviction that every seeker can reach the supreme state of unaffectedness, and fearlessness. He helps seekers to break free of the shackles of the mind and intelligence and become expansive and universal. Gurusannidhi is had only when the seeker tries to imbibe the message of the Guru, by constant introspection.

In Prabhata Rashmih, Swamiji emphasizes that constant self-examination is essential for spiritual progress. It is this alone that intensifies and deepens the Sadhana. Sadhana is not just meditation, changing, reading, etc., it is constant assessment about one’s own thoughts, behavior, and interactions. To the extent seekers are able to do it, their mind naturally withdraws from worldly involvements.

A seeker must introspect and analyze: What is the thought pattern I generally have? What are the motivations behind these thought-processes? What are the desires that cause these thoughts? What is the level of purity that I have achieved? What is the level of purity I want to achieve? What are the impurities that trouble me?

By this repeated reflection and self-assessment, ultimately one’s own deficiencies, and weaknesses are eliminated and positive qualities are imbibed. This Sadhana must be done willfully by a seeker.
