Spirituality is not dull and boring thing, it is Divine romance

Guru helps to connect to the power of the universe, i.e., Ādi Parā Śakti.
The function of any real Guru is to kill your ego first — die first — and then be reborn as the world. That is the algorithm. The Guru does that.

The connection to the circle and the dot is an empowering act, to becoming a winner.

In the history of every saint, they have gone through a transformation from their physical nature to astral nature.
If you take Ramana Maharshi, he enacted his death and was born spiritually.
Similarly Aurobindo wrote Savitri — the whole book is about the ascent and descent of Satyavan.
With Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, he did everything to kill his ego.

So the job of the Guru is to kill you — i.e., your concept of being only a physical entity.
You have body, mind, but you are not them.

The world is contained in you.

Job of the Guru is to tell you that you are an awakened being.
All you have to do is overcome limitations — that which binds you.

Spirituality is not a dull and boring thing.
It is Divine romance.
Loving all and being loved by all.

All the gopis (Krishna līlā) are modifications in our life.
Why do we love the world?
Because the world out there is your own impression.

The Guru tells you this.
You start experiencing that.

When you are improving, the world improves.
If you hate the world, the world hates you — it has no option.
It reflects you, since it is yourself.

If you move, the world moves.

If you have watched the movie Matrix, where a boy looks at a spoon — if he moves his head, the spoon also bends.
How does he manage?
The boy says there is no spoon there.
I am bending my mind, and the reflection of mind — i.e., the spoon — bends.

You have power to control destiny and make it as you want.
You can bend the world.

None of us makes the future alone.
All contribute to the future.

When you change, the world changes.

Leadership implies first committing to change in the way you want to.

When you understand that your ego is just a small, small part of the whole.

For Mahatma Gandhi, he had three enemies:

1. British rule of India

2. Attitude of Indians in depending blindly on karma theory

3. Considered himself as an enemy — i.e., one’s own ego

Buddha told Ananda his last message:
“Don’t be guided by anything other than you. Be self-referential. Be proactive. Be a light unto yourself.”
This was when Ananda asked in tears for a last message.

Essence of Śrīvidyā is in the four Mahāvākyas — principles of Vedānta.

Vedānta says:
Yes, you are the world. The world is śūnya.

Tantra says:
You are the world. The world has power.
As long as you control Māyā, you can manifest power.

Bringing the conceptualization of universal principles into human realms is possible.
