Sunday, July 24, 2022 – Do You Need a Guru? – Nayaswamis Padma & Hriman – Full Sunday Service

 

This is the complete video from the July 24 Sunday Service.

As Padma said in her talk, “the highest expression of our soul’s nature is the Guru”, and she tells two stories to illustrate the Guru’s role in awakening us from delusion to that highest expression.

One is the parable of the lion cub born into the sheepfold of human frailty, awakened to his higher reality by the lion king who shows him the cub’s own true nature.

The other is the story of Narada, who, talking a walk with God, goes to fetch a glass of water for the Lord. Life unfolds before Narada as he does so, until he finally awakens from the dream of reality to hear God calling his name, asking why he’s been sleeping in the sand.
