Guru Is Your True Self!

Guru Is Your True Self!

(37:57) Most spiritual seekers believe that Guru is a person. Since you imagine yourself to be ‘someone’, you can only project a ‘person’ on the Guru. Truly, the essence of the Guru is the Supreme Unique Reality without-a-second that manifests Itself as the Universe, as your phenomenal form and as the form of the Guru.
Meeting the Guru is unbelievable Grace. Surrender is needed, but surrender is not the culmination of this relationship. It is the very beginning. Guru will remove the sense of ‘I-ness’ and even the status of ‘discipleship’.
The ‘outer Guru’ is only the projection of the ‘inner Guru’, and there is no duality between them. Guru does not transmit anything. The role of His/Her manifestation is for you to recognize what is already here and totally present.
Love of the Guru is unconditional. It does not depend on the behavior of the disciple. In that Love there is no desire, no expectation, no interest. For the Guru there is no ‘relationship’ either. There are no ‘two’. There is only one non-dual Presence. Now it is up to the disciple to awake to this great mystery. When the disciple awakes, the form of the Guru dissolves in the Formless. And there is Oneness beyond words.

Swami Atmananda Udasin is a teacher of Advaita (Non-duality) and the Spiritual Head of Ajatananda Ashram, Rishikesh, India. This video is an extract from a retreat given at the ashram on October 24, 2018.
