The source of our knowledge is Gurudev
Wisdom flows like an ever-renewing river. One cannot step into the same water twice, yet the river itself returns. Past masters have taken the butter, but the cow—the source—remains. Feed it with love to receive fresh nourishment. The limited body is the vehicle to reach the limitless. Like an airplane's tires lift from the runway, the physical form provides support until the journey beyond begins. A crow with many techniques makes noise and falls, while a swan expands its wings and soars silently. Realization comes in its own time; the master's glance can awaken it instantly. This human life holds the entire science of divine energy within. The body's chakras resonate with sacred sounds, letters that are not symbols but divine energies residing within. These practices are essential tools, yet one must ultimately transcend them.
"They took the butter, but they didn’t eat the cow yet."
"If you want to see my flight, then please lift it up a little, sky away."
