Guru 4

[Guest guest]

GURU<br><br>Questioner: Is a guru absolutely

necessary?<br><br>Bhagavan Ramana: So long as duality persists in you, a

guru is necessary. Take the guru to be the Self, and

yourself to be the individual self. Because you identify

yourself with the body <br>you think the guru is also

somebody, but you are not the body and neither is the guru.

This knowledge that you are the Self and so is the

guru, is gained by what you call

realization.<br><br>From the section: "GURU" (page 16-17) in the book,

"MORE DOUBTS AND 100<br>MORE ANSWERS ," compiled and
