Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 In the word Guru, 'Gu' indicates the darkness of the I-ness, (the separateness, the illusion of many on the basis of the one, of the snake over the rope or garland on the ground in the dusk). 'Ru,' the second syllable means the removal of the illusion, the illumination that reveals the Brahman (rope) which put on the snake-cloak and caused fear and anxiety. When the real Guru reveals, the many merge in the one; when there is but one, how can fear enter? What is there to desire and acquire? On this Guru-Pournami, reflect on these truths and decide to enter boldly into the realm of fearless inquiry. - From Swami's Discourse on 8th July 1971. Om Sai Ram The INTERNET now has a personality.
