Our duty to have a devotion
Our lineage originates from Alak Purījī of the Satya Yuga. It is a living tradition essential for receiving blessings. We searched for thirteen years to find Alak Purījī's origin and understand Devpurījī's tapasyā. The lineage, seemingly dormant, blossomed again through Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and our Gurujī. You possess greatness within but do not yet know it. The disciple's unwavering devotion defines the true relationship, as expressed in a letter stating, "Guru Dev, I will be yours." We must first adore our root masters within before we speak. A story of Swami Vivekananda illustrates the guru's omnipresent guidance. Our duty is to cultivate devotion. The path of sannyāsa requires complete renunciation of worldly attachment, not merely wearing the robe. We exist within the five elements, and our soul is caught in karmic cycles. Our actions create karma; good and bad are returned by a divine law. We must purify ourselves. Our prāṇic body persists even after physical death, and our ultimate aim is to realize oneness.
"Guru Dev, many will come and many will go... but Guru Dev, I will be yours."
"It is my guru... He is everywhere, omniscient, omnipresent."
