The Guru

[Guest guest]

"Maybe people cling to their Masters and Gurus

because they are afraid to take that final step.......to

be their own master?"<br><br>The True Master never

lets you do this,<br>the True master sees this, even

from afar,<br>because the true master is merged in all

things,<br>the master knows the condition of every

disciple,<br>even though she may have thousands.<br>The Master is

the inner heart of all.<br>The Master shows one

this.<br>Clinging to any limited idea of a Master is ones own

projection of limitation,<br>the Master is not limited by

this and neither are we.<br>Deep within, where the

Masters' dwelling is,<br>is the seed of the entire

universe,<br>this experience is total love.<br>Though we see

through our own glasses,<br>the Master breaks these

glasses,<br>these shades to the sun.<br><br>Though the Master is

all pervasive,<br>And Is the true Self of

all,<br>Within every heart the Master dwells!<br>The Wise and

Humble ones',<br>Who strive for the Truth,<br>Bow to

their own Self<br>In the purified form of the

Guru,<br>Though the Guru is not limited to time and space,<br>The

Supreme Guru, the Lord of all,<br>For a mind that wishes

to know beyond itself,<br>Out of sweet

compassion,<br>Takes a form just like ours as a pure example,<br>Which

the mind finds easy to contemplate.<br>The Guru is

the perfected human,<br>Humaness as it is ment to

be.<br>The Gurus' words are perfection,<br>The Gurus'

actions are perfection,<br>The Gurus' thoughts are

perfection,<br>The Gurus' vision is perfection,<br>And filled with

enough heat to burn away all limitations with a single

gaze,<br>Who is willing to let go of themself?<br>The Guru

takes form,<br>In order to set the seeker free of

seeking.<br>The physical Guru is like a doorway,<br>From which

one walks through the limited aspect of the

physical,<br>that is trapped by time and space of place,<br>Into

that which is infinite and all pervasive.<br>The

living Master is a pure reflection of ones own

potential.<br>Clinging to the Master, one is freed from

clinging,<br>Even to the Master.<br>Not many understand

this.<br>Not many have the courage to surrender,<br>To one who

is like a furnace for the infinite.<br>The Guru is

like a Master potter,<br>Guidence from

without,<br>support from within.<br>In the end, a beautiful form

pronounces itself resplendid,<br>Yet transparent and

luminous like a piece of clear glass with the sun behind

it.<br>Only at the right time does one meet the genuine

Master.<br>I thought I was going to meet a Master,<br>Instead,

I found my own Self,<br>In all forms, In all

places,<br>At all times.<br>I thought I was going to meet a

Master,<br>Instead, I found my own heart.<br>I

found.................................the Bliss of Freedom.<br><br> Love,

Hari<br><br>Saint

Clement of Alexandria said,<br><br>"The word of God

becomes a human being,<br>so that we may also learn from

a human being,<br>how a human being becomes God."

Blessed Self, Hari<br><br>You have beautifully

and fully presented the essence of Guru in all of his

or her temporal and transcendental aspects.<br><br>I

often meet people who challenge the need or utility of

a guru. From now on, I will refer them to your

post.<br><br>Jaya Guru<br><br>Omprem
