II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

कबीर गुरू के देश में, बसि जानै जो कोय I
कागा ते हंस बनै, जाति वरन कुल खोय II

The one who is able to meet a genuine Guru is truly blessed with the Grace of God. 'Guru Krupa', the Grace of a Guru is something that no words can express and is beyond the comprehension of the material mind. Guru is always gracious and kind to us, for he can do nothing else other than grace the souls. The day a soul truly realises and accepts this fact, it will become God-realised.
Unlimited charity may be bestowed by a generous-hearted donor who calls upon all who are in need to come and take. But not all the wealth of the world will be of any avail to an indigent one if he will not avail himself of this great opportunity and become a receiver. And therefore “Seek and it shall be found; knock and it shall open to you; ask and it shall be given.” It is not as though there is any dearth of Divine Grace or Guru Krupa. Light is not lacking, but then we have to seek and we have to knock, and having done it we must be ready to receive. If this is present, then Guru Krupa works all wonders; it will flow into us and raise us to the highest realm of immortality, eternal light and infinite bliss.
A devotee may get the blessings of a saint, the grace of a saint. He may also be blessed and partake of the power of his compassion; but, for the attainment of the gift of Guru Krupa, we have first to be disciples.
Guru Krupa showers upon the disciple who tries his level best to carry out the teachings of the Guru and has a great desire to be free from ignorance and attain illumination. Unless there is this willingness, this deep eagerness to attain illumination, the disciple is no disciple. A hundred Gurus cannot help unless the disciple has a great desire for liberation and is seeking to get rid of that which stands in the way.

"Kabir says, when the disciple of Guru works in service to the Guru and is dedicated to the spiritual path, the Guru bestows His Grace upon him that cleanses all the filth within. A crow turns into a Royal Swan. In other words a miracle happens - the miracle of spiritual transformation and spiritual rebirth."
