The Guru Is The Doorway To God
The twelfth centrury saint Fareed said, “Find the one who has crossed over, he will also carry you.” There is no other way round. God is not a religious book. The book is trying to tell you what God and Guru are and what your mind is.
The beginner starts by bowing to the scriptures. But when you go higher and higher spiritually, then the moment you close your eyes for meditation, you are bowing to Him. When your crown chakra opens you are bowing to Him 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week even if you want to or not! (Baba ji laughs).
The moment you slander a Guru, you are slandering God. You are slandering all your births. When you deny the need of a Guru, you are denying God. When you deny a Guru you deny your right to faith. The moment you say you’re bigger than the Guru you’re going into ego and you forgot the basics.
