Sadguru is The Only Protection
It is a common belief in spirituality that the karma that we do manifests in forms of sufferings or happiness. The good karma brings blessings and happiness. The bad karma manifests in form of sufferings. The cause and effect of this universal law is that none can escape from this law. Even saints, ascendant masters and incarnations had to suffer because of past life issues.
Ramayana witnesses separation of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita because of the curse of Narada Muni to Lord Vishnu. It affected Lord Rama as he was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Even God doesn’t interfere in his heavenly ways. When people cheat others, betray people in love and harm them in a particular manner they may have to undergo similar experiences in either this life or in subsequent births.
Majority of the problems that people face in their life is because of negative give and take account with others. Karmic connections with ancestors account to maximum problems. Normally, these kinds of problems have no spiritual remedy other than negating the give and take account by sufferings. Interference of God is also minimum as problems are because of own karma. Here the only recourse is Sadguru. It is only Sadguru who can mediate and guide his devotees and the negative influence. Only he can help in the spiritual betterment, liberation or rebirth of ancestors. He can also protect the devotee from negative influences. Such influences and its impact on the devotee can be understood only by the Sadguru.
Sadguru’s protection is manifold as he can heal the bad karma of his devotee by guiding him on right path. He can make him work for a good cause in order to bring divine blessings in his life. This can help in negating the past life bad karmas. For example a person who has done wrong towards women in past life can be helped by guiding him to serve deprived or elderly women. The good karma done in this life can negate the bad karma done in previous births.
Sadguru can be the only protection in karmic problems. He can place himself between the karma of his devotee and the devotee sufficiently reducing the impact of devotee’s karma. At times benevolent Sadguru like Shri Sai Nath of Shirdi took the impact of devotee’s karma on themselves. In such a case the grace of Sadguru works like an elixir and can save the devotee from grave dangers.
Hence, we should pray to Sadguru Shri Sai Nath of Shirdi to forgive our mistakes and set us on right path. We should also seek his help in resolving our differences with our friends, relatives and others including our deceased ancestors. This will effectively help us in drawing healing, love and protection from them.
