Chant your mantra to glory. The mantra is the seed word that will open the gateway to the highest heavens for you. Know for certain that your Guru is divine and the mantra implanted by him in the depths of your consciousness is fraught with tremendous spiritual potency. The initiation you have received is with the sanction of God whose visible embodiment is your divine Guru. There is no greater religion than absolute devotion to the Guru and no greater work in life than his service. All energy must be directed to doing his divine bidding, carrying out with perfection his spiritual instructions and ever engaging yourself in seeking to please him. The Guru being pleased, God is pleased. Therefore, ever remember that the Guru is God-incarnate. Unless you have this perception of your Guru and revere him accordingly, your spiritual progress will be impeded at every point. And, if this reverence for the Guru is spontaneous in you, then blessed are you, O devotee! For you the path is clear. The razor's edge will have sufficiently broadened to carry you home into the arms of the Beloved and the inaccessible mountainous terrain en route to the summit of realisations will be a valley of flowers, fragrant and beckoning you higher and deeper into the core consciousness of your being where all is one. There, your spiritual master, your Chosen Ideal and you will have met in the oneness that defies description, in the union that is perennial, blissful, radiant, all-absorbing. Godspeed my friends, the Beloved can scarce tarry anymore!
Jai Gurudev! Jai Sri Ramakrishna!
