The Guru has to bear the disciple's burden of sin.

The Guru is the conveyance in which the spiritual influence is brought to you. Anyone can teach, but the spirit must be passed on by the Guru to the Shishya (disciple), and that will fructify.

The guru must be a man who has known, has actually realized the Divine truth, has perceived himself as the spirit.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

One must work as the dictate comes from within, and then if it is right and good, the society is bound to veer round, perhaps centuries after one is dead and gone.

The one who has the power of transmitting this current is called a Guru.

The guru is the means of realization.

Go on bravely. Do not expect success in a day of a year. Always hold on to the highest. Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness.

The Guru is the means of realisation. "There is no knowledge without a teacher."
