Guru

Light and dark.

Still everything that teaches us a valuable lesson, gives us insight into our self is a teacher, it is a spiritual lesson, giving insight in self, ego, heart, love, etc all can be called guru,

The people who have brought me to experience the deepest suffering within this life are also my biggest gurus. They have shown me something, which has now enriched my life. I am eternally grateful to all who were part of me experience suffering because without that experience how could I have come to know Bliss?

It showed me light and dark. Saying that not very body can be a guru depends on how you boarder off, limit the meaning of the word guru.

In some cultures a guru needs to have achieved something, preferably enlightenment, while in some cultures belonging to a sect or cast entitle someone to a title Guru, teacher, leader etc.

In every day life in the western culture in which I grew up, in the way I experience things, all around me is a reflection of self, of all, by that all shows me valuable lessons, and by that all functions as Guru.

Depending on someone's state of mind, there is a guru for everyone, at every given moment in time.

There are people like my husband Ozay walking this earth. They know from own experience what enlightenment is, and when listened too in complete surrender they will shine their light and shorten the path towards total liberation of suffering. Still there will be people who will say that in their eyes Ozay is not a guru, because they have a mind concept about what they THINK a guru is.

This is bullock, nonsense. All that makes us gain insight in self, in ego, makes us become more aware, wakes us up from the sleep, brings us light, is a Guru in its own rights.
