Prayers To Gurudev
The Divine Mother is the first form of God, and the Guru is that divine consciousness.
Every day is Mother's Day. The Upaniṣad states: "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—God is the mother first. See God as a merciful mother, not as a punisher. People die by their own karma, not by God's hand. Feel close to God. Do not cause pain to any mother, human or animal. Surrender all responsibility to the divine. Realization of the Gurudev is self-realization; it is not an object to be given. The disciple's consciousness must transform to see the Guru as the divine. The Guru is not the body but the Ātmā—the pure, universal consciousness within all. This consciousness is like the sky: omnipresent, pure, and indescribable. Meditate on this truth to awaken. Duality is an illusion; there is only oneness. Serve this divine consciousness without condition.
"God does not kill anyone. People die through their own karma."
"The Guru is Ātmā, not this body, not this mind, not this intellect."
