Meditate on Gurudev's form
God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation.
"God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God."
"Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma."
