Emotionally and sentimentally getting stuck with the living Guru or dead Guru will obstruct your Self-realization.+

You’re not what you see because you are not the ‘Self’.  The ‘Self’ is that sees the coming and going,  of the world in which you exist. Thus, the world in which you exist is nothing but the ‘‘Self’’, which is Soul or consciousness.  Thus,  the world in which you exist is nothing but consciousness.  

Advaitic Wisdom liberates the Soul, the Self from the cage if the illusory form, time,  and space.  The form, time, and space are a reality within the dualistic illusion. 

The religious Gurus don't appear to be liberated, they look enslaved. They talk about liberation,  but they don't look free. They seem to be bound with a thousand fetters because they are stuck with the reality of the world in which they exist. They believe in the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality.  They are unsure of how this world is an illusion. 

Jesus has said: ~ “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."(John 8:32)

Jesus meant the truth of oneness that is the Advaitic truth,  not the dualistic truth.  The Advaitic truth is the truth of the whole, not the part. 

There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization." 

Yoga Vasistha says:~  Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia. 

Remember:~ 

Why you are struggling to get a Guru.  You do not require a Guru to realize the truth, which is hidden by the form, time, and space.   

Emotionally and sentimentally getting stuck with the living Guru or dead Guru will obstruct your Self-realization.

Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end,  but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. 

There is no need to go in search of Guru. There is no need for any teaching. There is no need to indulge in yoga. There is no need to study and scriptures. There is no need to run pillar to post in order to get Self-realization.

There is no need for Gurus; Grace. The Soul, the Self, is the real Guru. The seeker of truth should not search for Guru in the world in which exists. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Swami Vivekananda said: ~  “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

The 'Self' is the fullness of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world, in which you exist and it itself is uncaused. Without consciousness, the world, in which you exist ceases to exist. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness because everything is consciousness.

When the truth is realized, the world which you think as reality becomes unreal. :~Santthosh Kumaar
