As we discard a limited mind and a life of limitation to step into the grandness of vastness, we realize infinity itself to be the Guru and all that we do as grace. As we traverse through consciousness that is the Guru, we become the Guru and each thought of ours is perfect in the now, as scriptures. Consciousness is the Guru, the wisdom. ~ Nandhiji
Guru quotes by Nandhiji
Its funny how in this very advanced connected world everyone is so disconnected... ~ Guru Z S Gill
Guru quotes by Guru Z S Gill
So I think the Guru can be a delusion. But everything can be deluding. The thing central about the Guru in the West is that he represents an alien principle of the spirit, namely, that you don't follow your own path; you follow a given path. And that's totaly contrary to the Western Spirit! Our spirituality is of the individual quest, individual realization- authenticity in your life out of your own center. So you must take the message of the East, assimilate it to your own dimension and to your own thrust of life, and not get pulled off track. ~ Joseph Campbell
Guru quotes by Joseph Campbell
You can or you can't is not the matter.You wanted to or you tried is the whole game about. ~ Vikrmn

When I see children, I see the future. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
I was full of a hot, powerful sadness and would have loved to burst into the comfort of tears, but tried hard not to, remembering something my Guru once said
that you should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Guru quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Holy name alone is sufficient to take you back home back to godhead. However to cultivate the mood of surrender You need a Guru. ~ Bhakti Charu Swami
Guru quotes by Bhakti Charu Swami
Passive Aggression – Being covertly spiteful with the intent of inflicting mental pain. ~ Ashta-Deb
Guru quotes by Ashta-Deb
Only fools argue whether to eat meat or not. They don't understand truth, nor do they meditate on it. Who can define what is meat and what is plant? Who knows where the sin lies, being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian? ~ Guru Nanak
Guru quotes by Guru Nanak
You know how some people are unlucky in love? I was always unlucky in exercise. I'd get into a relationship with a workout program or guru, we'd go steady for a few intense months, and then we'd have a really ugly breakup. ~ Alissa Nutting

The highest religion is to rise to universal brother hood; aye to consider all creatures your equals. ~ Guru Nanak
Guru quotes by Guru Nanak
Always remember, wherever you are, whether near or far, you had a mother who really, really loved you. The original mother. Once you've found your true inner guru you can never again be divided. Perfect union with the divine, through the grace of your real teacher, transcends time, space, death and all worldly limitations. Your real teacher is the original mother - regardless in which manifest or non-manifest form, or gender, she appears. The one who nurtures you and the one who also, out of wisdom and compassion, corrects you if you are misguided. ~ Zeena Schreck
Guru quotes by Zeena Schreck

Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self. ~ Guru Nanak
Guru quotes by Guru Nanak
When the purpose of the appointment to ,cohabit with the widow bas been attained in accordance with the law, those two shall behave towards each other like a father and a daughter in law. ~ Guru Nanak
Guru quotes by Guru Nanak
Following your own star means isolation, not knowing where to go, having to find out a completely new way for yourself instead of just going on the trodden path everybody else runs along. That's why there's always been a tendency in humans to project the uniqueness and the greatness of their own inner self onto outer personalities and become the servants, the devoted servants, admirers, and imitators of outer personalities. It is much easier to admire a great personality and become a pupil or follower of a guru or a religious prophet, or an admirer of a big, official personality - a President of the United States - or live your life for some military general whom you admire. That is much easier than following your own star. (p. 71) ~ Marie-Louise Von Franz
Guru quotes by Marie-Louise Von Franz
Decide. What you want? Life full of years or Years full of life. NOW. ~ Vikrmn
Guru quotes by Vikrmn
Truth is not over there, wherever over there is. Truth is neither housed in religious rituals nor secret doctrines, nor in a guru's touch or beatific smile, nor in exotic locations or ancient temples. Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present. ~ Adyashanti
Guru quotes by Adyashanti
Only fools are born wise. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo

Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Man has obeyed commands of the Mother, the Father, the Guru; but he has not obeyed the commands of 'God' (Bhagwan). Had he obeyed 'God's' commands, his work (for liberation) would have been accomplished. Alas! He will follow his boss's commands and even his wife's commands! ~ Dada Bhagwan

Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The moment you think you are out of resources; you still have one thing, Will to Win. Ignite it. ~ Vikrmn
Guru quotes by Vikrmn
The way to accomplish oneself as Guru Rinpoche Is all rooted in the Seven-Line Prayer. The seven consciousnesses of the basis,215 While on the path, become the seven branches of enlightenment.216 The result is perfected in the seven absolute treasures.217 In this way, with the sound of this vajra melody, The moment you invoke me, I, Padmasambhava, Have no choice but to come to bless you. ~ Thinley Norbu
Guru quotes by Thinley Norbu
The man who had abused him would ask, "I abused you yesterday, why did you not reply yesterday? You are very strange." No one waits for a second when you abuse him. He retorts immediately."
Junnaid answered, "My master taught me not to hurry in anything. Take some time. I must wait a little when someone insults me. If I were to give an immediate answer, the heat of the happening would catch hold of me; the smoke would blind my eyes. So I have to wait and let the cloud pass. When twenty-four hours have passed and the skies are clear again, then I can give my reply in full consciousness. Now I realize how tricky my guru was. Because I have never been able to answer my opponents since then."
Is it possible to hold on to anger for twenty-four hours? It is impossible to maintain it for twenty-four minutes or even twenty-four seconds. The truth is that, even if you hold back and watch for a single second, the anger vanishes.
But you do not wait even for a moment. A person abuses you – as if someone switches the button, and the fan starts whirring. There is not the slightest gap between the two, no distance! And you pride yourself in your alertness! You have no control of yourself. How can an unconscious person be master of himself? Anybody can push the button and goad him into action. Someone comes and flatters you, and you are filled with joy; you are happy. Someone insults you, you are full of tears. Are you your own master or anyone can manipulate you? You are the ~ Osho

Guru quotes by Radhe Maa
A citizen is no greater than his ideology,
no cleverer than his intellect,
no nobler than his aspirations,
and no stronger than his opinions.

A nation is no greater than its consciousness,
no richer than its heritage,
no grander than its potential,
and no loftier than its luminaries.

The world is no greater than its leaders,
no smarter than its teachers,
no better than its preachers,
and no higher than its philosophers. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
I want to know, sir-when shall I find God?" "You have found Him." "O no, sir, I don't think so!" My guru was smiling. "I am sure you aren't expecting a venerable Personage, adorning a throne in some antiseptic corner of the cosmos! I see, however, that you are imagining that the possession of miraculous powers is knowledge of God. One might have the whole universe, and find the Lord elusive still! Spiritual advancement is not measured by one's outward powers, but only by the depth of his bliss in meditation. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Guru quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Children, we can grow spiritually only if we see the guru as the manifestation of God. We should not accept anyone as guru before we are fully convinced personally that he is authentic and truthful. Once we choose someone as guru, we should surrender completely to him. Only then will spiritual development be possible. Devotion to the guru means total surrender to him. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Guru quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
As the Primal Being, Lord Shiva has neither ancestors, nor caste, neither guru, nor education, for he is the origin of all. ~ Wolf-Dieter Storl

The practice of the Name turns us in the direction of the light. The practice of the Name removes the dust from our eyes so that we can see the world as it really is: lit up by the light of the guru. ~ Krishna Das
Guru quotes by Krishna Das
In varying degrees, the authority of the dharma was replaced by the authority of the guru, who came, in some traditions, to assume the role of the Buddha himself. ~ Stephen Batchelor
Guru quotes by Stephen Batchelor
It takes a long time-many incarnations of right action, good company, help of the guru, self-awakening, wisdom, and meditation-for man to regain his soul consciousness of immortality. To reach this state of Self-realization, each man must practice meditation to transfer his consciousness from the limited body to the unlimited sphere of joy felt in meditation. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Guru quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul, the master story tellers; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is a master thinker. When it comes to systemizing life, no one can touch him. ~ Doug Wead

Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Surrendering: The act of giving yourself entirely to a new self, and then let go of your personal freedom for the achievement of something greater than you had before, a new you, a new self, envisioned and designed by yourself. Surrendering, to a God or to a Dream, or to both, is the ultimate act of designing your new future and then letting go the present reality to live that dream. It is, indeed, the creation of a virtual reality in which one will find himself present, after detaching from the previous reality, which will then become virtual by default. Because, as one cannot surrender without accepting, one cannot get without letting go. And so, when one surrenders entirely, he becomes entirely new. ~ Robin Sacredfire

Guru quotes by Vikrmn
The world is your audience, even if you only have one disciple. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Guru quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Unfortunately, many people do not feel comfortable with freedom. They must find for themselves a leader, a guru, or a mentor to take over the direction of their spiritual lives and who will tell them what to do and how to think. A guide or a counselor is understandable, as in sports or music or in any pursuit, but that is not enough. Many mistakenly believe they have to be led each step of the way. ~ Joseph Girzone
Guru quotes by Joseph Girzone
We are, every one of us, like a wise guru in charge of a mental patient. ~ Jamie Catto
Guru quotes by Jamie Catto
Very few spiritual or religious masters know that the student is sometimes a teacher because they haven't acquired such level. ~ Daniel Marques

Never be proud but show humility towards others, true wisdom lies in being humble. ~ Radhe Maa
Guru quotes by Radhe Maa
Austerity, if I were to define, I'll say, It's YOU. ~ Vikrmn
Guru quotes by Vikrmn
child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his or her individual karma. The resulting horoscope is a challenging portrait revealing his or her unalterable past, and its probable future result. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by women and men of intuitive wisdom: these are few. ~ ~ ~ Swami Sri Yukteswar Guru of the great Paramahansa Yogananda ~ Jeffrey Green
Guru quotes by Jeffrey Green

Guru quotes by Vikrmn
Let's not call cancer patients as patients, they are cancer fighters. They are brave hearts. ~ Vikrmn
Guru quotes by Vikrmn
Actually I did not invent the seven habits, they are universal principles and most of what I wrote about is just common sense. I am embarrassed when people talk about the Covey Habits, and dislike the idea of being some sort of guru. ~ Stephen Covey
Guru quotes by Stephen Covey
We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives. ~ Richard Bach
Guru quotes by Richard Bach
The elimination of force at all costs is Utopian and the new movement which has arisen in the country and of whose dawn we have given a warning is inspired by the ideals which Guru Gobind Singh and Shivaji, Kamal Pasha and Reza Khan, Washington and Garibaldi, Lafayette and Lenin preached. ~ Bhagat Singh
Guru quotes by Bhagat Singh
I have that precious commodity - freedom. I can live my life a day at a time, and I am open to whatever the next day brings. I know I sound as if I have been off with some guru in India, but I haven't. I've come to realise the value of being able to decide for oneself. ~ Cherie Lunghi
Guru quotes by Cherie Lunghi
My parents being Bengali, we always had music in our house. My nani was a trained classical singer, who taught my mum, who, in turn, was my first teacher. Later I would travel almost 70 kms to the nearest town, Kota, to learn music from my guru Mahesh Sharmaji, who was also the principal of the music college there. ~ Shreya Ghoshal
Guru quotes by Shreya Ghoshal
Fear exists because we do not have faith. ~ Radhe Maa
Guru quotes by Radhe Maa
As if any one of those peo­ple isn't al­ready look­ing around for a new gu­ru to make sense out of their risk-​free bore­dom of a lifestyle while they watch the news on tele­vi­sion and pass judg­ment on me. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Guru quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
With me, illusions are bound to be shattered. I am here to shatter all illusions. Yes, it will irritate you, it will annoy you - that's my way of functioning and working. I will sabotage you from your very roots! Unless you are totally destroyed as a mind, there is no hope for you. ~ Osho
Guru quotes by Osho
Do not return evil for evil ~ Radhe Maa
Guru quotes by Radhe Maa
In certain tantric rituals the candidate is first beaten by his guru, hashish forced down him, and he is taken at midnight to a dark cemetery for sacred sexual intercourse. Thus he achieves union with his god. ~ Peter J. Carroll
Guru quotes by Peter J. Carroll
It's funny, I see Wendy Kaminer herself as a kind of guru - a guru of the fashionably cynical set. Yet she uses the term "guru" to minimize my career, to marginalize my thoughts and to trivialize my work, as well as those of others. ~ Marianne Williamson
Guru quotes by Marianne Williamson
True that life is given,
And received. But truer still:
The single-act of giving
Makes the offerer the beggar, too - ~ Edith L. Tiempo
Guru quotes by Edith L. Tiempo
Happiness is.. looking at the closing door, then bolting them from outside and fleeing. ~ Vikrmn
Guru quotes by Vikrmn
Whosoever assumes a religious garb pleases not God even a bit. O ye men, understand this clearly in your minds, that God is attained not through showmanship. They who practice deceit, attain not Deliverance in the Hereafter. They do so only to accomplish the affairs of the world and even the kings worship them for their appearance! But through showmanship, God is attained not, howsoever one searches. He who subdues his mind alone recognizes the Transcendent God. ~ Guru Gobind Singh
Guru quotes by Guru Gobind Singh
In Zen we have no gurus. ~ Frederick Lenz
