The Guru-Shishya tradition has been in existence from very ancient days. In days bygone, every
king ruled only in accordance with the counsel of his Guru.
(Jagadguru Śankarācārya His Holiness Jeśta Mahāsannidhānam Śrī Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji
and Jagadguru Śankarācārya His Holiness Mahāsannidhānam Śrῑ Śrῑ Srῑ Bhāratῑ Tirtha Mahāswāmiji on
Shisyasweekaram @ Sringeri 1974)
That is, one who has steadfast devotion to the Lotus feet of the Guru will cross the ocean of
Samsara very quickly.
We bless that all cultivate such Guru Bhakti and attain Shreyas through the Guru’s Anugraha.
--- Jagadguru Śankarācārya His Holiness Mahāsannidhānam Śrῑ Śrῑ Srῑ Bhāratῑ Tirtha Mahāswāmiji
What needs to be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit-picking?
(Jagadguru Śankarācārya His Holiness Śrī Abhinava Vidyatirta Mahāswāmiji)
Suppose a man were to cultivate an attitude of friendliness towards happy people. Then he
would only derive happiness in their success. For instance, does not a father feel joy on the
success of his son? Likewise, why will not a man feel happy if he regards another in a friendly
light? It is said, "The petty-minded think, "This one is my own. This one is not." For the
broad-minded, the whole world is one family." How can the prosperity of another agitate the mind
of a person who looks upon everyone as a member of his dear family? In fact, such an attitude
conduces to peace of mind by eliminating jealousy and the like that are disruptive of mental
tranquility.
The fourth quality is, "Purity". If we were to encounter a person who wears dirty clothes and
who has not bathed for many days, his unpleasant smell makes us want to move away. On the
other hand, the stinking one is hardly aware of anything abnormal. Likewise, some are in the habit
of spitting in public places. Such practices are not only repulsive, but unhygienic too. Hence, one
must bathe daily and observe hygiene. Cleanliness is an important ingredient of purity.
