Who Can Be A Guru?

March 30th, 2008

Not far from heaven (by Photochiel)

Who can be a guru? An enchained person cannot liberate others from bondage. Only a liberated soul deserves to be a guru, who can help others in attaining their salvation.

A person who is free from bondages is a liberated person. Judged in this light, only the Supreme Entity is a real liberated soul. So only that Entity is liberated in the true sense of the term, and it is only that Entity who can be a guru.

    If that person is a guru, Who pray is there guru. And if a Guru can have a guru who is that guru’s guru. And if there are indeed an infinite chain of guru’s is GOD at the helm?
