“Once you’re initiated, the true guru will always be inside of you.”

“A true guru never has to think or use the mind.” “Everything that the guru says is the absolute truth.” If you read about (or follow) five or more spiritual groups during your lifetime, there’s a good chance you will hear a high percentage of these common myths that Kabir and other advanced teachers have complained about. So he manages to balance some justified skepticism about gurus while embracing a mystical approach to meditation. Leveille appears to believe in a basic truth of those teachings - that it is possible to know a formless Celestial Awareness - but rejects the Sant Mat notion that the guru is greater than God, because God isn't available to help us while the guru is. The article is centered on the Sant Mat teachings that I followed for thirty-five years. Or worshipped for any other reason, like their supposed perfection. It's well worth reading if you've ever believed that a guru should be worshipped as a divine being. Recently someone sent me a link to " The Guru Has No Turban" by Greg Leveille.
