SatNaam Sangat Jee-o,
dandauth bandhna ji
Sadhguru wrote that the difference between is saint and guru is that the saint is very nice man who you like to listen to and to invite around your house, but in terms of spirituality you may not get very far with a saint. However, the Guru is the one who will at first nurture you with lots of love and patience, but in the end the Guru will slaughter you and that is the time when many devotees will not be able to tolerate any more and fall away from their Guru.
We have seen this in Baba ji's sangat as well. without understanding what Sadhguru ji has explained above, most of the sangat come to Baba ji for their own dukh to be taken away, for love and affection, for being nurtured and supported, for spiritual experiences as well. Up until then Baba ji is a wonderful saint for them. But, depending on each and every person's need and entanglements, which they cant see, but Baba ji can, they may hear something from Baba ji that they really dont like. That pushes all their emotional buttons, that they think is not right, that fills them with doubts about Baba ji, that he is manipulating them with fear or guilt. Their own maya comes to the surface. And all the maya statements will come out to justify why they are right and why Baba ji is wrong. They may feel betrayed and then become strong saying we will never trust in a "Baba" again.
We ourself went through a similar thing with our first Sant, but at that time we did not have this understanding. The simple thing is that we love SatNaam and if you think about it , Satnaam - God himself is the most compassionate and kind, but also God is taking life every single moment, even ultimately the most siffering we experience is the death of a loved one. God does not ask us for permission to take a loved one, God does not ask us if we are ready to cope with serious physcial injuries either. But, yet on the death of our nearest and dearest ones, we dont call God a murderer and try to bring him to justice. Its difficult to understand that if we truly belive SatNaam is fully manifested in our SatGuru, that NO MATTER what he says, or how he says it, He is doing it for our best. And the very fact that all your negativity came up towards your Satguru and your feelings to never give up your power to someone else, shows you all the junk inside you.
Look at Baba Nanak ji, he acted crazy and even said to Bhail Lehna ji to eat a dead body. Guru gobind Singh ji looked furious and crazy asking for the head of 5 sikhs. Baba ji always says for us to realise that the stories we are reading of the past Gurus, have to become our stories - meaning we have to do bhagti and face our tests as well.
We are not capable of passing any tests, all we pray is no matter what happens , that Satguru ji keep giving us enough understanding so we always keep his lotus feet in our heart. Baba ji is free, 100% free, and he will make us 100% free as well. But we are tied by so many limitations, that WE DONT EVEN WANT TO COME OUT OF, even though we have sought a spiritual path and a Guru, we dont really want to break out of all our comforts and our conforming lives. It is our weakness not our Gurus.
God bless all.
