Episode notes
Guru Beyond a Person
- A guru is not limited to being a person, but an energetic presence available when you are open and willing.
- This presence can initiate transformation even without physical interaction, emphasizing openness over personality.
Maintain Openness for Initiation
- Work towards keeping yourself open to the guru's presence for sustained periods.
- Such openness allows a guru's energy to enter deeply and initiate profound changes within you.
Guru Ignites Inner Transformation
- A guru's role is to awaken and transform, not to give solace or merely interpret scriptures.
- Transformation requires burning away darkness; the guru is the torch that lights this inner fire.
