Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Must. Not can. In our tradition, Lord Shiva is the GURU, and all others are links in the chain which bind us to the Supreme. We are all Gurus, gurus, upagurus, little gurus -- in whatever nomenclature you choose to describe. Question: And that thought prompts another query. Can I consider you and Shree Maa also my Gurus even though I have not met you and have any instruction from (not counting the online classes and your emails)? Yes, if we present as a source of inspiration to you, if you feel motivated to follow the example of our discipline, if you are directed to study our teachings, we can be gurus to you without being in physical proximity to you. Obviously we have met, because I am personally answering your question. But we will want to meet physically when the opportunity presents itself, because that will enhance our relationship. I bow to the pure disciple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
