Sustainer,
and Destroyer and who indeed is the limitless
Brahman }
Guru is Brahman, the Absolute, or God Himself.
He guides and inspires you from the innermost core of
your being. He is everywhere. Have a new angle of vision. Behold the entire
universe as the form of the Guru. See the guiding hand, the
awakening voice, the illuminating touch of the Guru in every object in this creation.
The best form of worship of the Guru is to follow his teachings, to shine as the very embodiment of his teachings, and to propagate his gloryand his message.
It is a good time to begin your spiritual lessons. Traditionally, spiritual seekers commence to intensify their spiritual 'sadhana' from this day.
