Guru and Energy
This post is my offering to all the masters and teachers you will meet in this life or next.
What is a Guru?
One important understanding which is missing in people's mind is about what a guru, teacher or realised being is about.
What are his struggles with you other than staying alive in a graveyard of your mind. Because your mind is comfortable with dead bodies.
A guru is a energy which no more lives in graveyard in mind, his energy is live fire of life free from limitations of thoughts.
He is trying to bring you to his world which is basically your world too which is forgotten because of your trap of your thought world.
When a person experiences the live cosmos the joy in him naturally wants to spread among fellow beings like a child he shares, people are triggered energetically they are touched they feel new energy and hope. Their mind immediately starts to form a psychological world around spiritual experience and they start to think a guru is also a psychological bring like themselves. That's where disaster awaits. Guru is, inviting you to the world he is living into, for that he has to Inspire you to move and climb out the ditch of mind and it's fears and greed, ideas and hopes about tomorrow. He is inviting you to the only cosmos which is present not the seven billion projections of minds.
Disconnection happens with a guru when he becomes a character in your thoughts like rest of relations and your expectations from him as, you expect from another human who lives like you in thinking world but there is no psychological ego there but a water like form which takes shape according to your cup or vessel of thoughts so he seems to you like a person like yourself. A guru is like mirror he becomes you when you pose an issue and reflects but you are not used to reflections but painted pictures about your life. That's why your love for him can turn into hate as well.
People when they come to guru rarely a person is looking to rise above their ideas and come to guru to validate their own painted pictures of thoughts.
They want a guru to come to their world but they do not want to leave their world.
Guru can come to your world, but he cannot live there with you because it's not a real place but your imagination, his light will point out certain truths which you will not like.
Remember a guru is an inner light not outside light which creates shadows of mind thoughts, like dislike doubt and fear etc. An inner light creates no shadows.
If you rely on guru as outside source of light thee will be dependence which will create conflict in your mind.
Guru tries to give you your reliance on your own light only then you can really relate with him. Otherwise a guru is baby sitting your minds.
So that is why a trust is needed to understand a guru. A guru is not asking you to follow him but stop all followings because what you call following is nothing but you following your convenient thought about guru or life which adjusts with your ego expectations.
Guru wants you to stop following thoughts, shadows in search of light but become the light, shift your mind from shadow to light because if there is shadow there must be light around. This turning around is the spiritual revolution or looking inside or dropping the thought world.
A guru is not a punching bag for your questions but Mike Tyson to bag of your questions.
People try to form a psychological connection with guru from their ego may be full of respect it's good only if you use it as a tool or boat to cross the chaos river of your mind.
All our relations and actions in life fail becsuse of formations of thoughts around it, sharing our past etc.
People think they talk to get intimate but in fact it creates distance because the connection is no more pure but polluted with thoughts and expectation. You stop feeling and start thinking.
Many people say I don't follow any guru it is not needed yes they are right but not if they follow their own shadows of thoughts about it but not the light they are.
You cannot have a relation with guru like a puddle cannot relate with the river though it is attracted but it has to loose it's identity to become a friend by jumping into the river.
A guru is not a puddle but river.
A puddle is ego, river is life.
Water can say it does not need river to be water but a puddle cannot say it does not need a river to flow.
A guru is one who wants you to see that you are not bound by puddle even if you want to stay in puddle know yourself as water not the garbage in it. This is the path of a materialist spiritualist.
It's hardest to know in thoughts that you are not thoughts but light falling on thoughts because light becomes thoughts and you feel attached and lost.
To jump out of puddle through intensity of action and join the river is devotion.
To evaporate rise above your puddle as cloud is yoga meditation.
Divine is like water in sewage, in a river, in a pond, in a puddle. Yet free from every name and form always stays, water. That is True detachment.
A guru is water which can nourish your growth.
Water becomes river, puddle and ocean yet it is none of these it is always water.
That is why people are unable to understand so many forms of divinity in Hinduism. Even Indians don't get it. It's the same water.
When a human becomes a water mind then you know freedom and divinity.
Then you say every particle in cosmos is made of divinity.
Our life is refection of sun playing on water.
Both water and light reflect the quality of divine
Light illumines as Shiva and water activates the illumination as Shakti into action.

Guru and Disciple
A Guru is a human which had stepped out of psychology of collective mind and personal. Hence there is nobody who is guru. But a wisdom which is not property of the psychology of the person which Guru has.
A disciple on the other hand is a psychology which is seeking similar but thinking it to be certain perfection of improvisation of mind personality.
Hence a disciple goes to a guru as a psychology but there is no psychology to interact. Person being a psychology seeks interaction with another psychology and end up thinking he is connecting. But that connection is the game of disciple.
For a guru there is no disciple or guru.
For disciple he is follower of guru of his psychological expectation.
Guru uses his psychology as a tool to interact but to destroy the psychology of the disciple to connect the disciple with truth of his existence.
That is why there has to be trust more than any relations you lived before.
Other relations were game of your psychology for its comfort, support and expectations.
Guru has to get your out of your own psychological traps but for that there has to be willigness to let go the world of thought and logic.
A Guru in an opportunity to trust a space within of unknown presenc because alone a psychology cannot drop its game.
Guru does not show you the enlightenment or truth but destroys your lies, beliefs and expectations.
That is why very few people manage to be disciples and even rare to be a guru because it's a thankless dirty work.
Probability is either you will dissolve as ego which again is rare or you will become enemy of guru which is common.
If none of this happens then you connected with guru for other reasons like a trend to follow, or chose few words of guru which becomes part of your psychological belief system and you believe you got it or understood the Guru.
Trap of disciple is that he thinks guru is answering his psychology and seeks to reaffirm his psychology.
He basically is a black hole of thoughts which fills itself up with words energy of the guru to feel his existence as a spiritual person. Guru has to suffer the consequence of you using that pure energy for your psychology which essentially is a suffering which you got comfortable with.
Guru works not to answer questions but dissolve the questioner which is question.
Guru is trying to bring you here but your mind makes here a part of your psychology. Where as present can be experienced only in the absence of psychology which is past a shadow a ghost.
When people ask questions they seek to validate their psychology or their psychology does nor agree with him they try to prove their point of view.
Always Remembet Guru has no point of view that's why in your world he is known has guru to you, but that's the grace of pure presence not psychology of the guru the person you project or imagine.
A Guru is more of a feminine energy he reveals herself only to a listener, a silence and trust in disciple. Rest of the time he plays with your ego with the toy of his ego.
For you your ego is serious issue but for guru it's a play tool. Your suffering is real to you but for guru it's a lie you are suffering from hence guru may seem brutal and heartless to you but he tries to help you get out of your own self damage and belief.
Your ego is a person it creates a person or psychology of guru in your head and you relate with that image. It happens with all your relations.
Guru is an intelligence which is moving the cosmos. He may seem like a person to you but it's more like a glove on the hand, you think glove is moving but it's hand moving which is inside the glove. Mostly people, are deceived by the glove and never get to shake hand glove free. A glove is dead skin like ego but hand or wisdom is living.
Our culture is not of creative intelligence of hand but of designer gloves worn by frozen hands.
A Guru, the Shakti reveals only when there is no glove and risk which disciple takes to take of the glove even when hand is frozen that is why trust is needed. Only then you can be touched or graced otherwise your glove touches the glove of other hands you think you met other. But only gloves met you stay untouched.
Ignorance means you do not know you are wearing a, glove you think you are glove. Either you learn to take it off or guru will rip it apart either slowly stich by stitch of your ego beliefs or if you are lucky or unfortunate he will rip it apart. It's a intimate interaction like love and it's hurts. We keep on decorating that glove which is shredded and useless which won't let you feel life.
Struggle of Guru is with your mind which lives in time and believes it to be true. Guru is timeless present asking you to feel not think you are a real hand inside your glove touch the timeless.
There are no guarantees because dreams are not real. Real life cannot be guaranteed because you have it.
The life of spirutuality is to loose what you don't have and gain what you already are.
So when you meet or interact with guru to fix your issues of your glove you have gone to wrong person. If you want to feel the juice of life then be willing to loose the glove guru shows you how to take glove off. He does not give you new hands but helps you feel your hands.
🙏🙏🙏
My glove free namastey to all of your hands in gloves I guarantee you it's not cold no need to keep wearing gloves. ❄️😉
