Guru–Disciple Relationship

A message sent by a disciple — and the corresponding guidance given by the Sadguru. Ordinary people who simply follow the crowd can never create a unique path of their own. Such a person reaches only where the crowd reaches — never beyond it. But those who dare to leave the common path and choose a different direction reach places where no one has ever reached before. Later, the same crowd begins to follow their footsteps.

To reach one’s true goal, what matters is not the sandals worn, but:

• the direction in which the steps are taken,
• the purpose behind each effort,
• the clarity of the chosen path.

A Guru — especially a Sadguru — can never forget His duty. He can never ignore His followers. A Sadguru always:

• remembers His disciples,
• keeps His followers constantly in His awareness,
• guides them even when they are unaware,
• protects them without being asked,
• uplifts them through His grace and sankalpa.

For a true Guru:

• The disciples remain ever-present in His consciousness.
• Their progress is His responsibility.
• Their upliftment happens naturally through His presence.
