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.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/4707c8fa26c025f3694dc0a62d45fe597f7819deb8a45abb894f22cffbecb777/b6dd5eb89f08fac8b1f416e6152a7c02a3a4c057caade9e79705f4bf044697cc.webp
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Guru Ramana. Memories and Notes.
By S. S. Cohen.
Full Audiobook.
The Guru may tell his disciples a thousand times,
'You are the Self, you are not what you imagine yourself to be', but none of them ever believes him.
They all keep asking the Guru for methods and routes to reach the place where they already are.
