Michael Scott - Reflections of the Month Today is

GURU'S GRACE
In the process of making a pot, the potter places the clay on a wheel and spins it round and round. With the outside hand, the potter shapes the clay little by little smoothing out all the impurities and blemishes. With the inside hand the potter guides and supports the clay to perfection. After the clay is molded, it is put into a very hot fire. Only then can it hold the divine nectar.

You see, the Guru is the potter, and we are the clay. At times our egos feel bruised and beaten by His (Her) guiding hand, but we must always remember that while one hand is molding us from outside, the other hand is supporting us from within. When all the impurities are worked out, our ego is transformed in the fire of knowledge and we become fitting vessels for the nectar of Divine Consciousness.

-- Freely retold from a story be Shri Jagadish Pande at Shri Ram Ashram February 2001
