A Perfume Called Friendship

"I do not call you servants anymore... I call you Friends." ~John 15:15

No need to keep returning to the garden, seeking another glance, another taste of the flower. The essence of Guru Shakti permeates us now, however far we wander, the seasoned wine of an ancient friendship. It is light and nonbinding, this perfume. Love is freedom.

No need to worship a white robe, a beard, a pair of sandals. We worship the light that radiates from our own heart's depth. Then we serve the light in every person we meet. This is true bhakti, and this inward light is the real Guru.
