O my Guru, teach me to behold Thy face in the mirror of my stillness within.
The Guru Pours the Ocean of Wisdom into the Expanding Being of His Chela
A disciple (chela) who is in tune with the guru learns through unalterable devotion to perceive Spirit behind the egoless transparency of the guru’s personality. The exalted guru who knows Spirit is one with Spirit Itself. A true guru who adores God only and perceives Him constantly in the temple of his body and mind accepts the devotion of a disciple only to transmit it to the Lord. Unconditioned devotion to the guru enables him to pour peacefully the ocean of his wisdom into the expanding being of his chela. Without deep devotion the debris of doubt clogs the mental channel of the disciple’s perception; he cannot faithfully receive the guru’s subtler inflowing rivulets of enlightenment.
