Talks Excerpt 428. Swamiji says: Veda Vyasa revealed the secrets of spirituality when he compiled the four Vedas and more.

From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

[During Guru Purnima Swamiji said]: Sometimes we doubt the other senses. But we are sure when we see something with the eyes. We have seen our gurus and today we worship them. And above all, we worship God who manifests in the Rishis.

Vedvyasa/Veda Vyasa revealed the secrets of spirituality when he compiled the four Vedas and more. Today we adore and worship him in our own gurus.

Sri Ramakrishna is very, very, very serious about respecting the gurus, and holy people. In samadhi Master always said, ‘Who is the guru? Satchidananda.’ He who has realised this state is the perfect guru; and he can take the disciple to that state.

The subtlest form of God is fire or light. When the vibration goes beyond the speed of light, you cannot see the light.

The tanmatras first take the form of light, and then the form of fire, air, ether, water, earth [the five elements] .

The Mahabharata says that there are five great elements in which God took form. So the one prana has many names and forms.
