Guru is one who lights

Guru is one who lights

Guru is one who lights

guru lights, he goes,
light shines, brightens, 
shows the way to learn to become gyan murthi 

not any one can light , 
a lighted candle only lights others

once lit, one's learning capacity increases by that light
then he starts learning from every thing 

from ant, plant ,elephant , 
stone, sun moon, stars, live, dead 

all give their message, he now is able to receives
only thru his light, lit by one lighted guru, first

once he is lighted, he learns all of the universe
by being universe himself

then he starts lighting others 

without the first guru lighting, 
it is impossible to receive the lessons 
given by even the best masters


without that light, all lessons will be misunderstood, 
will be misinterpreted, 
lead to confusion and harm to the followers 

since followers are not lighted , 
the lessons from any one cannot reach them in purity

if one is lighted, 
he can learn any thing , everything, 
precisely, correctly, truly , 

even from the ordinary, 
even from the wrong words ,even wrong doings

like hansa taking the ksheer, leaving the neer aside , 
taking the essence leaving the dross aside 

since he has become the hansa 
lighted by one parama hansa, first
