Vyaasa Pournimaa.

Today is Guru Pournimaa. To all my Gurus, Seen and unseen, acknowledged and unacknowleged, i bow down in Gratitude for just being, Always.
The word Guru is said to be derived from two letters, Gu and Ru. Gu is said to be darkness and Ru is said to be light. So the word means one who rids us of darkness. Hence consciousness in all its myriad manifestation is the Guru. Ultimately when we bow to others we are bowing to ourselves only. 'I' can only exist when there is a 'YOU' because when 'I' am all alone then 'I' ceases to exist. Can we even imagine such a state. We cannot because we can think only in concepts. We live in a conceptual world and the world is always feeding us more concepts. The one who can make us realize and understand this is the Sadguru.
It is to this Sadguru (which can manifest in any form) that i bow and owe everything.
