What is Guru Tattva?
The essence of Guru Pūrṇimā is the Guru principle, which is the source of liberation. Great saints and yogis exist, their subtle bodies transparent, able to move through rock. The universe is composed of space, energy, and consciousness, a trinity harmonized by Yoga. Among the six principles—earth, water, fire, air, space, and consciousness—one is the Guru Tattva. Liberation comes solely from the Guru's blessing and mercy. The Guru is the bliss of Brahman, the supreme reality within. The Guru possesses equal vision for all disciples, seeing the one unmoving reality in everyone. Worldly desires and problems are the confusion of saṃsāra, without ultimate sense. The sun gives life, yet one cannot illuminate the sun; similarly, one must recognize the source.
"Liberation, mokṣa, comes from the blessing of the Guru."
"The Guru loves his disciples equally. The problem is that the disciples have a problem."
