Walk Your Own Path – Your Guru Will Find You

The spiritual journey is deeply personal. Each seeker walks a path shaped by their own inclinations, experiences, and inner calling. No two journeys are identical, for the soul’s longing expresses itself uniquely in every individual. Yet, there is a profound truth: when one walks sincerely on their own path with genuine spiritual inclination, the Guru will find them.

Shivkrupanand Swamiji explains that spirituality is not about imitation or following blindly. It is about listening to the inner call and walking the path that resonates with your soul. Some may be drawn to meditation, others to service, devotion, or study. What matters is sincerity - the willingness to walk steadily, even when the way seems unclear.

At the beginning, seekers often feel alone. They may question whether they are progressing or whether they will ever find guidance. But Swamiji assures that when the seeker reaches spiritual maturity, the Guru appears. The Guru may not be the one you imagined, but the one your soul truly needs. The Guru finds you, wherever you are, and guides you forward.

This is the mystery of grace. The Guru does not come by chance; the Guru comes when the seeker is ready. Just as a flower blooms when the season is right, the Guru’s presence blossoms in the life of the seeker when the inner readiness has matured. Until then, the seeker’s task is to walk their own path with faith and perseverance.

Himalayan Samarpan Meditation teaches that surrender is the key. By surrendering the restless mind to the Guru Tattva, the seeker prepares the ground for the Guru’s guidance. The Guru’s energy is not limited by physical presence; it flows through vibrations, silence, and inner connection. When the seeker is sincere, these vibrations reach them, guiding them even before they consciously recognise the Guru.

Walking your own path requires courage. The world often distracts with material pursuits, doubts, and comparisons. But the seeker must remain true to their inner calling. Each step taken in sincerity purifies the consciousness, dissolves ego, and brings the seeker closer to maturity. When the ego falls away, the soul shines, and the Guru’s presence becomes unmistakable.

Swamiji emphasizes that the Guru does not impose a path but illuminates the one already within you. The Guru helps you see clearly, strengthens your resolve, and guides you through obstacles. The Guru’s role is not to replace your journey but to help you walk it with awareness and surrender.

Ultimately, the truth is simple: walk your own path, and your Guru will find you. Do not worry about when or how. Trust that when the soul is ready, guidance will come. Until then, keep walking, keep surrendering, and keep listening to the voice within. The Guru’s grace will reach you, and your journey will unfold in silence, bliss, and liberation.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day!

The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation

Image
  Photo Credit: Gem Selections Meaning of Vibrations during Meditation During meditation, many seekers experience subtle vibrations within the body, mind, and soul - gentle waves of energy that signify a deep spiritual awakening. These vibrations are not random sensations but profound indicators of an inner transformation. They reflect the movement of divine energy within us, cleansing our consciousness, dissolving blockages, and aligning us with higher frequencies of existence. The meaning of these vibrations varies based on an individual’s spiritual journey, yet they always serve as a sign that meditation is working at a deeper level beyond the mind’s comprehension. In the initial stages of meditation, vibrations may be felt as tingling, warmth, or pulsations in different parts of the body. These sensations often occur when energy begins to flow more freely, removing stagnation caused by stress, emotional burdens, and past karmic impressions. The human body is not just physic...
