For a Changed Vision

Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Guru is the door to liberation, but it is the aspirant who has to enter through it. The guru is a help, but the actual task of a practical spiritual practice falls on the aspirant himself. Guru is your electric lift. He lifts you to the peak of perfection.

I am always ready to help you. I will inspire you, but I cannot do the work for you. You yourself will have to do the work. You will have to place each step yourself on the spiritual ladder. Remember this point always.

See the guiding hand, the awakening voice, the illumining touch of the guru in every object in this creation. The whole world will now stand transformed before your changed vision.
