    Vidyasagar.Guru

    After the chaturmas at Aharji, Acharya Maharaj, accompanied by the sangha, proceeded to the hallowed ground of Nainagiri, where we passed the winter. One day at noon, Acharya Maharaj unexpectedly summoned us. Muni Shri Yogasagar and I went to him. Acharya Maharaj announced. "I have decided that two or three of you sadhus should leave together for Sagar. The change will be good for your health Besides, it will give you the opportunity to spread the Faith. The time has now come for you to strike out on your own and gradually learn everything."

     

    That was the first occasion for us to be given such a responsibility in the sangha. Naturally, we were a little nervous, as we had never given it a thought. Having dedicated our lives to his service, we were exclusively engaged in spiritual pursuits, with not a care in the world. We were nonplussed. The question of disobeying the Guru's command did not arise, but it was not easy to persuade the heart to accept it. The heart was full of sorrow We pleaded “Maharaj, what can we do without you? How can we live far from you?"

     

    Acharya Maharaj became grave. “Will you be far from 'my heart?” he asked. “That can never be. Not even in a dream.” We answered at once. He started laughing. Then he said, “Go, my blessings are with you. Do not be nervous. Concentrate on matters spiritual. A disciple who follows my command is always very close to me, even if he is far away physically. But if someone in my immediate circle were to disobey my orders, he will be far removed from my heart.”

     

    To this day, I have not felt the physical distance that separates me from him. I always find him very close. Truly, unwavering obedience to the Guru is the essence of proximity
