Holy Gurujis Mahasamadhi Celebration (3/3)
The essence of devotion is surrender to the Guru's grace. A true Sadguru possesses two defining features: being established in valid proof and being the source of that proof. The scriptures affirm this. The Guru's role is to destroy the disciple's fundamental delusions, such as the delusion of the doer and the delusion of the world's reality separate from Brahman. Through this destruction, the disciple's true nature is revealed. Mere intellectual knowledge is insufficient; only the Guru's grace can ferry one across the ocean of worldly existence. Devotion and faith in the Guru are the sole means. All practices are futile without this surrender. The Guru is the ultimate refuge.
"Sadguru ke do viśeṣaṇ pradhān batāye hai."
"Guru bhakti jagat meinār hai."
