Remembering on the Gurupurnima Satsang
The path is known only with the Guru. Countless rivers flow through long valleys, yet without a guide, one cannot know the way. A disciple once sought initiation, asking for the external cloth of renunciation. The true Guru instead offered to color the disciple's own heart, not the outer garments. The Guru's grace is the disciple's sole bliss. One must learn to understand oneself within the body and beyond. When such a great being lives among humans, they reveal the divine. Only that true Guru can accomplish this; no one else can. A true Guru does not speak of leaving or make claims about the self. The disciple and Guru are one, yet the Guru holds the discipline. The pure drop from the source is singular and cleansing.
"Please make me a sanyāsī and spread this cloth to me." "Do you want your clothes to be colored, or do you want your own heart to be colored?"
