Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 When you find a pure one, a real teacher, a true guru like my own teacher, Nome, where there is not a trace of ego left, the light shines pure. It is the light of Consciousness, and the words spoken transcend the human realm. His teacher Ramana Maharshi was like an empty vessel of pure Consciousness. This is guru. And all true gurus have been the same one. Just simply this pure Consciousness. There may seem to be words spoken and words heard but it is a divine communication. It transcends time and space. That's why when you are in the company of your perfect guru, you don't have to remember the words, but you find the place in your self that is that same guru, that perfect stillness, that Silence, that Truth. That always only is. So the words spoken and listened to are really the grossest form of this relationship. It really is a relationship that transcends all relationships. At some point the words are actually heard and taken to heart. When the guru points you in the direction of your own perfect Being and you finally understand, then you yourself are the same as the guru, that perfect absolute Awareness. So guru is a guide and a help and a gateless gate into the Divine Reality. Although you might be very attracted and love your guru, don't be distracted by the form because there is no one there! But listen, listen to the words, and go in the direction the words are pointing you-IN TO YOUR OWN SENSE OF EXISTENCE. How many years will you come and sit before us before you hear these simple words? And when you hear, you will know the years never existed and there has always been only this perfect Awareness. YOU ARE IT. I AM THAT. So waste no time turning within. Waste no time, because the bliss and joy are yours. Relish in your guru's bliss. Wallow in utter freedom. Own it. Be it. Give up everything. There is nothing in "I" or "mine" that can compare tothe perfect bliss of the I-less-ness of pure Being without ego. This is guru and guru is your Self. http://www.presentnonexistence.com/transcripts/guru.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
