Baba- Why does Krishna refer Arjuna to Jnanis or Tattwadarshis to do his prostration, interrogation and service.  Was not Krishna a Tattwadarshi, in fact Jnana itself.

(3) Seva is not rendering service, retaining still the feeling that one is free to offer or refuse service.  One must feel that he is not the master of the body, that the body is Guru's and exists merely to render service to him.

(2) Mere questioning is not enough.  The question must not be made with any improper motive or attitude or to trap the Guru and catch at mistakes in the answer, or out of idle curiosity.  It must be serious and with a view to achieve moksha or spiritual progress.

(1) It is not enough merely to prostrate before the Jnanis.  We must make Sarvaswa Sharanagati (complete surrender) to the Sadguru.

The (mother) tortoise is on one bank of the river and her young ones are on the other side.  She gives neither milk nor warmth to them.  Her mere glance gives them nutrition.  The young ones do nothing, but remember (meditate upon) their mother.  The young ones do nothing, but remember (meditate upon) their mother.  The tortoise glance is, to the young ones, a down-pour of nectar, the only source of sustenance and happiness.  Similar is the relation between the Guru and disciples.

"My method is quite unique.  Remember well, this one story, and it will be very useful.  To get the knowledge (realization) of the Self, Dhyana (meditation) is necessary.  If you practise it continously, the Vrittis (thoughts) will be pacified.  Being quite desireless, you should meditate on the Lord, Who is in all the creatures, and when the mind is concentrated, the goal will be achieved.  Meditate always on My formless nature which is knowledge incarnate, consciousness and Bliss.  If you cannot do this meditate on My Form from top to toe, as you see here night and day.  As you go on doing this, your Vrittis will be one. pointed and the distinction between the Dhyata (meditator), Dhyana (act of the meditator will be one with the Consciousness and be merged in the Brahman.
