Guru Gita By Gurumayi Review

The Guru Gita by Gurumayi is not a book you read. It is a fire you sit in. It burns the false self until only the Self remains. And that, she whispers, is the only true Guru. "When you chant the Guru Gita, you are not praying to someone outside. You are remembering a wholeness you never lost. The Guru is the wakefulness inside your sleep." — Inspired by the teachings of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda.

Because the Guru is the bridge. When you chant, "Guru is the sky, the disciple the cloud" — you are not diminishing yourself. You are realizing that the cloud (your ego, your worries) has no existence apart from the sky (consciousness). Gurumayi’s deep teaching: You are searching for the sky while clinging to the weather.

Most people read the Guru Gita and stumble at the hyperbole: The Guru is Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The Guru is the Absolute.
