Who Can Become a Spiritual Guru?
What does it take to become a spiritual guru? Is it possible to achieve this status without letting go of the ego? Does materialism come before spirituality? These are fundamental questions to consider on this journey.
A spiritual guru, teacher, or healer undergoes significant penance before uniting with the source or light. The path is not easy, but it is rewarding.
The Journey to Becoming a Spiritual Teacher
In a recent video, I discussed the dedication, discipline, time, and research required to progress toward becoming a guru. A spiritual guru or master (genderless) appears when one is seeking guidance, but it requires mutual trust and faith.
A spiritual guru or master may grant permission to teach only when they have achieved trust in your ability to work for the highest good of humanity. This relationship is sacred and built on a foundation of respect and understanding.
Duration to Attain Spiritual Completion
Based on my personal experiences, I began meditating over 30 years ago. I have always been spiritually inclined, but my deeper calling, research, and dedication lasted nearly eight years. This time was essential for my growth and understanding.
Visitations and Divine Play of Arulmigu Siva
In my earlier blogs, interviews on Chennai channels, podcasts, and social media platforms, I have shared my experiences with Arulmigu Siva. He first appeared to me as a ball of orange light, then in physical form at my home, and later as a divine manifestation in Rishikesh, where he appeared as Nandi. Many other miracles I have experienced can be found in the Knowledge Center on my website.
The Divine Tools of Siva and Shakti
Who holds the divine tools of Siva and Shakti? The truth is, no one holds these tools. The ones present in the physical world are not truly divine; they originate from tantric practices that do not genuinely capture the energies of Siva and Shakti.
When a person obtains a divine tool, it must be used exclusively for the betterment of humanity. This is crucial. In our chaotic world, access to herbs and tantric practices can disrupt the soul's progression. However, divine Gods and Goddesses consistently step in when needed.
The Importance of Intent
As we navigate our spiritual journeys, we must remember the importance of intent. What drives us to seek spiritual knowledge? Are we motivated by a desire for personal gain, or do we genuinely wish to help others? This distinction is vital.
When we approach spirituality with a pure heart, we open ourselves to divine guidance. It is this guidance that leads us closer to our true selves and allows us to become effective spiritual teachers.
Embracing the Journey
The path to becoming a spiritual guru is not just about the destination. It is about the journey itself. Embrace every moment, every lesson, and every challenge. Each step brings you closer to understanding your purpose.
As you walk this path, remember that you are not alone. Many have traveled this road before you, and many will follow. We are all connected in this shared experience of seeking and learning.
Conclusion
I know that nobody holds these divine tools in this physical world. The journey to becoming a spiritual guru requires dedication, trust, and a commitment to the highest good. More insights will come soon in the near future.
