“The inner Guru is a power, a principle that resides within you. This is a principle that resides in your very being, waiting to find expression to make your life a continuous song of fulfillment.
It exists within you, beneath your thoughts, like a clear stream hidden under the sands, stones, and pebbles. It is a repository of infinite strength, wisdom, abundance, and auspiciousness. It is neither male, nor female. It is never a human being, yet it is very much human as our most intimate and loveable friend that is ever eager to guide us to the life of glory and fulfillment, here and hereafter. It is the very essence of our inner being.
Most people are asleep to this fact. Most people remain closed off from this intimate source of auspiciousness existing at the core of their being.
Unless you awaken to this power, it will be dormant, remaining as a remote possibility, never actualizing in your life as the glory and fulfillment you were destined to, the very moment you were born.
We are here on Earth for living a life of wisdom, love, joy, and celebration.
However very few of us really believe and acknowledge the fact that life should never be a boring drudgery to carry on. Unfortunately, boredom, drudgery, and unfulfillment have become accepted norms of life, while, the reality should be just the contrary. God has manifested as human being with unlimited potential and unbounded freedom of choice. Whatever situations we are in, is a result of conscious and unconscious choices made by us.
Awakening the inner Guru is an indispensable necessity of life, whether or not you have somebody you revere as your Guru. The same inner potential insufficiently manifests and may help you through the outer form of a Guru, when you are not ready to awaken your inner Guru. The outer form of Guru is often a very distant token of that infinitely loving and compassionate inner Guru that abides within you through all the ups and downs, all the peaks and valleys of your life.”
