Guru Quotes

I am neither modern nor ancient - just contemporary, as every Guru was. If one is not relevant for today, what is the point?

Light in your soul kindles the light in your world.

The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.

Enlightenment isn't a vast field of open opportunities that will change your life, actually it is but first it will destruct anything in its path unattached to the version of you that is awake.

Remember, you are the true guru of yourself. You are therefore always with Guru - your soul. However, at various stages you meet mentors.

I keep remembering one of my Guru's teachings about happiness. She says that people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you're fortunate enough. But that's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will eat away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.

Yes, taking is not important, taking is ugly, but receiving is very important.

It could be said that we become so much a stranger that we disappear and find ourselves reborn in the midst of humanity which is quite a paradox.

Even the Master, in one way or another, is a student throughout life.

Very few spiritual or religious masters know that the student is sometimes a teacher because they haven't acquired such level.

Be like stars; when darkness tries to stop you from shining, shine all the more.

Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.

Be your own Guru.

Light travels halfway around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.
