[Guest guest]

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

nice post! i had been thinking about the whole concept of the Guru

Principle and your words made me want to post it. The True Guru is

the cause of all circumstance. ALL of it. would be interested in

learning of the Guru Principle as per The Guru Gita? a verse could

be posted daily to comment on or just reflect on. There are a total

of 182 verses but each one's depth is amazing to me. below are a

couple of examples sort of along the lines of your words Mikki;

 

Vs. 39 By whose gifts of wisdom and inspiration the universe is

not perceived in various divisios. Who is the one form of truth of

all forms. Therefore, we bow down to the respected Guru.

 

Vs. 41 Who is the form of all cause, as well as the light buy which

the form of the effect is illuminated. Who is the form of effect

and cause. Therefore, we bow down to the respected Guru.

 

Vs. 42 This all appears as various forms, whereas there is nothing

which is different from the Guru. He(She) alone is the

manifestation of cause and effect. Therefore, we bow down to the

respected Guru.

 

the idea that there is NOTHING that is not the Guru kind of blows me

away when i think about it. that is deep some stuff Maynard!
