Guru is eternal
The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples.
"Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain."
"One should not sit on that chair... that Gāḍī will take that one."
