The Path of the Guru

The Guru is not a figure to worship. The Guru is a function.
A catalyst that disrupts the mind’s compulsive loops, exposes the blind spots you cannot see, and accelerates the dissolution of the identity that keeps you small. Across traditions, the outer Guru appears only to do one thing: reflect you back to yourself with a clarity the ego cannot fabricate.

The Guru is a temporary structure.
A bridge between the conditioned mind and the unconditioned Self.
Like a teacher in school, the Guru holds a vantage point you do not yet have, not because you are lesser, but because you are still inside the pattern you are trying to transcend. Their presence reveals what your system defends most fiercely: your attachment to your own limitations.

At the deepest level, the Guru’s role is to make themselves unnecessary.
The mark of a true Guru is that they consistently direct your awareness back to the inner source, not to themselves. When the inner master awakens, you stop seeking confirmation externally. You move from devotion to sovereignty, from dependence to direct perception.
