Clearly, MMY saw himself as more than just a secretary to Guru Dev. I quote a passage from 'Thirty Years Around the World':- 'I remember it took me about two and a half years to really adjust myself. Right from the beginning the whole purpose was to just breathe in his breath. This was my ideal. The whole purpose was just to attune myself with Guru Dev, and that was all that I wanted to do.'
It is interesting to note that before becoming Shankaracharya Guru Dev is said to have been something of an administrator himself in that it is recorded that he set up the Shri Krishnanand Saraswati Trust, and established an ashram and Sanskrit school in Varanasi. For what it's worth, I came by a shortlist (seemingly anonymous) which surfaced in India some many years back, which makes comparison between MMY and Guru Dev:- 1. Both were the youngest in the Ashram. 2. Both were very intelligent and so loved their Masters above all even senior brahmacharis and sadhus. 3. Both managed ashram affairs and management beautifully and to the standard and wish of the masters. 4. Both progressed remarkably on the path of Yoga so the Masters were very pleased with them and loved them immensely. 5. Due to their quick progress several Asramites became jealous of them and complained to the masters at random meaning to turn them out of the ashram. 6. Both of them are the most brilliant and shining stars in the spiritual horizon of the world. 7. People from all walks of lives gathered around Guru Dev as they gather around Maharishi Ji now. --- In [email protected], Vaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Feb 21, 2006, at 11:06 AM, authfriend wrote: > > > Again: Were these qualities MMY got from mind-modeling > > Guru Dev? > > He was a SECRETARY for christsakes--he just did what any good > secretary does, anticipated the needs of his boss.
