Dear Ashok,

Thank you for the kind thoughts, however Guru-ism is a trap along the way. God always tests the devotee...he says, " Do you want Me, or to be exalted among men?" Even though a spiritual aspirant may tell themselves that they are an ego-less instrument, it is still the mind. "Spiritual" ego. And then the transmission becomes mixed with Maya. The desire, ability, siddhi, to be Guru, all must be surrendered. Years ago I was graced and blessed to teach in the shaktipat Siddha tradition. Luckily I renounced before I created further illusion. Only very few divinely annointed can be Guru. Very few.
