<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"><span> </span>That is a correct description of Baba’s Marga.<span> </span>It has been called <em>Guru</em> Marga in <em>Guru</em> Gita. <em>Guru</em> Marga is a form of Bhakthi Marga in which faith in and devotion to the <em>Guru</em> is the only Sadhana for achieving everything including salvation, Mukti or Brahmaiktya, Satchidananda conquest of <em>samsara</em>, and also all yoga, siddhis and temporal welfare. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"><span> </span>Here Baba showed the applicability of the <em>Guru</em> Gita to religious progress. The one who is acquainted with the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the spiritual field, a forest is a vanjari. The fourth person, Baba who realized that a guide was needed, and mere talk with bookish knowledge was of no use at all to help one to realize God and himself. Above all, the question was not an intellectual one. It was a problem as to how a particular soul was to be raised to realization, and that as essentially a matter of moulding the entire soul of the student or <em>sishya</em>. What is wanted therefore is humility, receptivity, and a powerful desire to reach the goal with the aid of a <em>Guru</em>. Therefore, a readiness to adopt a <em>Guru</em> and surrender everything to the <em>Guru</em> is needed. Everything is Tan, Man, Dhan that is, body, mind and possession. As a result of the intense love he bore to his <em>Guru,</em> Baba sacrificed and surrendered at the feet of his <em>Guru</em>. The solution of the problem as to whether there is need for a <em>Guru</em> is already reached when the <em>sishya</em> get into the proper humility, receptivity, and longing attachment to the <em>Guru</em>, culminating in mutual love. Then realization is reached. Purely by <em>Guru</em>’s grace, Realization flashes upon the <em>sishya.</em> Baba said, “The <em>Guru</em>’s grace is our only sadhana. Jnana comes as experience or in the wake of <em>Guru</em>’s grace. He alone succeeds who feels the <em>Guru</em> is the one thing needed.” </span></p>
