Gurupurnima celebration 2011
The true form of the Guru is the word itself. This body is worn to explain and guide beings, but both the Guru's body and the disciple's body must be left behind. The eternal, omnipresent Guru is Satya-Seṃ-Prakāś. The disciple's true form is the Ātmā, which will reach the same end. The Guru is the word, and the word is the Satguru. The real nectar is in that word. The Sadguru teaches that word and develops love for the Paramātmā. The one sealed by the Sadguru is protected from Yamadūtas at death. The name given by the Satguru cannot be taken away. The Satguru is the true friend and protector forever. Liberation is attained the day one meets the Satguru. All subsequent practice is done only by the Guru's permission.
"On whom Sadguru puts his seal, he does not have to go with Yamadūtas."
"The day when we met the Gurudev, that day only we have attained liberation."
