"My" Guru

Once one says, "my guru," one has a conflict. Solve it either by getting rid of "guru" or getting rid of "my."

A guru is a two-edged sword. One can cherish the guru as a spiritual friend, or use the guru as a surrogate mommy. The same guru may cause the liberation of one person and the bondage of another. The presence of the guru causes one ego to grow heavier, and another to become so soft and ripe it drops from the vine. As in every relationship, it depends on whether one says "You belong to me" or "I belong to you."

Jai Guru Dev.
