In deed, as it is said in this <em>\u015bloka<\/em>, it is so. However, the meaning of this <em>\u015bloka<\/em> lies in the correct attitude towards the <em>guru<\/em>, which is not characteristic of many, especially in the Western environment, including among the so-called &#8220;spiritual practitioners&#8221;. This happens for the reason that those who declare themselves <em>s\u0101dhakas<\/em> in the West are subject to the trends of the general environment, where a lot of mass delusions are cultivated. But, if you know deeply the topic of <em>mantras<\/em>, then the <em>mantra<\/em> is the Deity, and the <em>guru<\/em> is a good practitioner. A good practitioner is one who has realised the <em>mantra<\/em> (i.e. the Divine in himself). Accordingly, the transfer of the <em>mantra<\/em>, of course, occurs from the <em>guru<\/em> to the disciple, but essentially it is the Deity itself that &#8220;transmits&#8221; itself through the <em>guru<\/em> to the disciple. I propose to think about how important, deep and sacred this process is. Therefore, it is necessary to come to the <em>guru<\/em> precisely for this kind of process. But of course, this does not happen as simply and primitively as many imagine it to be, the level of devotion and understanding of what it is must be extremely high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the correct mantra to be practiced by a s\u0101dhaka following the traditional path?
