| Think ye in thy heart, lotus feet of thy Guru. |
I want to ply my boat, many times,
Across the gulf-after-death,
And return to earth's shores

GURU
Guru is one who knows God, and who shows the way to Him. To follow a divine manifestation is the sure way to God-realization. One who knows God becomes the speaking voice of the silent God.
Only a true guru is empowered by God to establish with disciples a divine relationship by which he leads those in his care out of the common sheepfold of delusion to freedom in the Elysian pastures of God-consciousness.
When a devotee prays intensely to God to know truth, God sends him a true guru to guide him. This divine grace comes to the devotee when he demonstrates his desire for liberation by sincere constancy in supplication to God.
The spiritual soul contact between guru and disciple is one of eternal, unconditional divine love and friendship, bearing no taint of any selfish consideration.
The guru serves as this mirror. He holds up to the devotee a reflection of his perfect soul-image over which is superimposed the flaws of the ego that yet mar perfection.
God has sent you to me, and I shall never fail you....Even when I am gone, my help will always be given to devotees all over the world, if they keep in tune. Never think for a moment that when I am physically absent from you all, I am not otherwise with you.
GOD'S BOATMAN
I want to ply my boat, many times, Oh, I will come again and again! I want Thee, O God, |
WHEN I AM ONLY A DREAM
I come to tell you all of Him, And yet when I am only a dream to you, |
I Shall Never Fail You!
