“The Guru principle has not come into existence recently. It existed even before the universe was created, and just like water, earth, air, fire, and ether, it has been a part of creation ever since it began. The Guru principle is within everyone as the inner Self, so when we pay our respects to the Guru, we are paying our respects to our own Self. The Guru is the Self; he is nothing but supreme Consciousness and supreme bliss.”
- Baba Muktananda
