Dispelling The Guru

The word ‘guru’ stems from gu (darkness) and ru (dispelling agent).
The illusion is that a guru can dispel the darkness in our mind.

The truth is that they can only talk about their path. It’s a starting point for you to discover your path, which actually banishes ignorance or evil.

Even the Buddha cannot eliminate your darkness; it is you who has to realise what that darkness is, and that is the process of dispelling. It is the inner guru of pure consciousness that dispels the darkness in the mind of concepts, and the recognition of these concepts is our guru/teacher/guide to keep us on track, on the right path, our path.

As long as we are fixated about a subject – even if it’s inspiring and interesting – we are still bound to darkness. It’s a little trap of Mara. Seeing is not believing; it’s knowing.

Dispelling the guru is the clarity of pure consciousness.
We don’t reject the physical guru; we dissolve the boundary.
