We must remember that the Guru is the embodiment of God‘s supreme grace. The touch of the guru bestows grace, dissolves karma, and brings us into conscious contact with God. Everything that the Guru teaches and directs us to do helps to purify us, to prepare the way for the flow of grace, and to put us in a state of grace when we are ready for it. During the purification process it might seem like nothing is happening or that grace is only manifesting in sporadic, passing moments. However, the Guru is with us and grace is working its magic. The decisive touch of grace will happen, elevating us into the Divine Life, with full awareness, often when we least expect it. The victory of grace over ignorance, suffering, and malevolence is a sure thing, decreed by God and Guru. This victory is irresistible and inevitable.
Beloved Guru,
You are the embodiment
Of God’s supreme grace.
Jai Guru!
