Premanand Maharaj Ji
Should I feel kritagya (thankful) towards my guru, or is there a deeper feeling?
The guru is our own mother
Kritagya, meaning thankful, is a very light word, and gratitude is expressed to others. The guru is our mother, and we never say thank you to a mother.
Gratitude is expressed to others. Did you ever tell your mother, 'You carried me in your womb and raised me on your milk'?
