Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 Q: How long is a Guru necessary for Self-realisation? A: Guru is necessary so long as there is ignorance. Ignorance is due to the self-imposed but wrong limitation of the Self. God, on being worshipped, bestows steadiness in devotion, which leads to surrender. On the devotee surrendering, God shows his mercy by manifesting as the Guru. The Guru, otherwise God, guides the devotee, saying that God is within and that he is not different from the Self. This leads to introversion of mind and finally to realisation. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Be As You Are The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NEW from GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities./ps/info1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
