The Guru, Spiritual Master and Acharya
http://bhaktivinoda.com/category/acharya-guru-spiritual-master/
There was a big bungalow and a rich man and his wife were staying in it and in the middle of night, the Sethani woke up and she could hear someone in the adjacent room. She could not scream and the Seth was busy snoring. She was very scared, and didn’t have the courage to open her mouth. She nudged the Seth asking him to wake up as somebody had entered the house. The Seth was half-awake, drowsy, saying he would get up. She could hear the thieves collecting all their valuables from the cupboard. She again nudged her husband asking him to wake up. Finally when the thieves had all gone she shook her husband, now wake up. And then he woke up and asked, what happened. She said – The thieves have taken everything. Why didn’t you wake up? She was very angry.
This story has some similarity with our own lives. In this story,
- the Sethani represents the acharyas who know that a thief has entered, who know that we are getting plundered, the nudging of wake up – uttistha uttistha jago, wake up
- but we are – what is the hurry, time is there, still I am only 25 years old.
- The thieves represent the kala. Every moment is precious because in this human form of life we can accumulate spiritual credits.
- The wealth which kala is plundering represents the valuable human life. With every passing second, this valuable is getting plundered by kala,
