The Guru is the veritable physical manifestation of God and the seeker of Truth should have a total faith and surrender in the saving grace of the Guru. A word from him is a word from God. His very company is self-illumination. We must remember that, three things, devotion, faith and surrender are essential for any progress. Having a strong devotion, faith and surrender towards the Guru, the spiritual seeker will be able to establish a strong spiritual connection with the Guru’s Light, evolving at a tremendous speed towards spiritual liberation. This path is called Guru margam, the way of the Guru, and according to revelations received by great seers, this is the most dynamic way towards liberation.
