The Guru Principle: Total Surrender to The Guru Principle

 

 

Jaigurudatta!

 

 

The Guru Principle: Total Surrender to The Guru Principle  

 

The Guru Gita says: ''If Shiva is angry with you, the guru will take care of

you, but if the guru is cross with you, even Shiva will not be able to protect

you against the wrath of your guru.''

 

How strange, I thought. Shiva is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of the

universe; he is the vital principle from which all objects emerge. How can a

living guru be more powerful than the lord of the universe?

 

As I began to read about the guru principle, I realised that a spiritual guru is

not merely a guide or teacher; he is also the one who transforms a disciple's

life in her pursuit of Self-realisation. A guru is able to do this because he

has identified his own consciousness with the pure consciousness of God. He

therefore dwells at the deepest source point of reality; there is no ego, no

pretension, no limitation to his expression of the highest truth.

 

Implicit within the notion of the guru is the idea of a journey of mystical

ascent, a movement from the ordinary state of waking consciousness towards the

expansive recognition of the divine self. He is one who has completed this most

extraordinary journey and has thus relinquished forever the illusions and

limitations of the ordinary and narrow ego-sense.

 

Such a spiritual teacher is a paradoxical being; he embodies the conjunction of

the absolute and the relative; he is the master of space and time, free and

possessionless, yet emperor of the universe. To be completely surrounded by the

light of consciousness is the intrinsic nature of the state of the siddha. It is

for this reason the master who dwells in such a condition no longer apprehends

the world as different from himself. The state has often been called

sahajasamadhi or 'spontaneous' samadhi. Bathed in the radiance of the Supreme,

all forms of life reveal their intrinsic purity, perfection and formlessness.

 

The spiritual teacher transmits the sacred tradition that leads to God. This

truth is not fashioned by the human mind; rather it is revealed to the mind.

Further, this truth is not bound by constraints of time, space and causality but

exists in its own autonomous and independent sphere. A being who can awaken this

god-consciousness in a disciple's life is worthy of veneration.
