Here’s to the Gurus

July 18th, 2008 | Bliss

Who bring us
From the darkness to the Light
From ignorance into Bliss
From misery and suffering
into Everlasting Love

I wouldn’t be here without you all…

(I know that these few images only scratch the surface of the countless divine manifestations of the One truth that have graced this planet and the other-worlds… feel free to add your own links, images and quotes in the comments section)

From the great master Papaji:

“Approaching the Self is like walking the razors edge: Two cannot go there,
you can’t even bring your mind or a thought.
The only One who can help you is Self.
Anything that touches this Flame becomes Flame.
Touch a Sage and you become a Sage,
knowing Self you see only Self and this Self is your Teacher.

Eventually you have to get rid of the name and form of both Master and yourself,
you have to reject the finger in order to see the moon.
Where there is name and form there is falsehood,
there is an impediment to Freedom because
nothing you see will give you Freedom.

Hold on only to Self when you are drowning,
reach for anything else and you will die.
The Satguru is Within, meditate only on That!
The true Teacher is Self, all else is pointing to Self.
Don’t cling to anything made from the five elements.
The Guru has no body, visible or invisible.
Do not depend on any body, which are just fingers pointing to the Truth!
Reject the form of the Guru and only the Supreme is left.”

- Sri H.W.L. Poonja - aka PAPAJI
