The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

Desire not, fear not, observe the actual, as and when it happens, for you are not what happens, you are to whom it happens.

Ultimately even the observer you are not.

You are the ultimate potentiality of which the all-embracing consciousness is the manifestation and expression.

In your world, everything must have a beginning and an end. If it does not, you call it eternal. In my view, there is no such thing as beginning and end - these are all related to time. Timeless being is entirely in the now. Being and not-being alternate and their reality is momentary. The immutable Reality lies beyond space and time.

Beliefs are the food of a make-believe world. Permanent clarity is available to you, but not if you want to cling to your beliefs.

If you insist on believing, believe this:

I am Conscious Life Energy. Because I am, all is. I am vibrant intelligence, by which flowers grow and wounds heal. In my absence, existence as it is known, ceases.

The world is my manifest expression and this body is its instrument of perception and action. In this regard, I am the Knowing of every sensation, feeling and thought.

I am the Author of every action.

The Chandogya Upanishad

Those who depart from this world without knowing who they are or what they truly desire have no freedom here or hereafter.

But those who leave here knowing who they are and what they truly desire have freedom everywhere, both in this world and in the next.

We cling to our point of view as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence. Like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.
