Question: Babaji some people say that we should not get attached to the physical body of a Guru. They say Babaji is in their hearts all the time. Is it wrong to get attached to our Guru’s physical body?
Babaji:
See attachment should not simply be in a materialist way. The body of the Guru is also important. You need to take care. Detachment does not mean that you neglect taking care of the body. You don’t love the body. Simply loving itself does not become attachment also. So here what you have to do is you have to love your Guru both physically and spiritually. You have to take care of your Guru’s body both spiritually and physically also. At the same time be aware that one day this physical body is definitely going to go away. But the Guru really is all pervading. He is in your heart also. So whenever it is possible to be present at the lotus feet of the Guru physically it is like a bonus. But if the body goes away do not brood, do not get confused. The Guru is within you. So like that you maintain the equilibrium.
