Guru Bhakti arises out of the psychic communion existing between the disciple and the guru in the disciple's heart. The guru is the spiritual father. In the words of Swami, "A true disciple has no sadhana to perform. He has only to surrender himself completely to his guru".
Nothing could be nobler than the guru's willingness to take over the disciple. Swami believed in the spontaneity of surrender, the totality, the absoluteness of it. Time and again, swami has reiterated that we can attain realisation only through the guidance and blessings of the guru. In the words of Swami, "When the disciple is ready, the guru will automatically appear on the scene". Guru is verily the Divine in human form. Guru Bhakti would help us to do service with humility, destroy our ego and prove to be a constant source of inner strength. There is nothing in this world which cannot be attained with the "anugraha" or favour of the guru. The relationship between a guru and the disciple has been hailed as something without a parallel, as being entirely on a supra-human plane. The union between the guru and the disciple lefts us to "the plane of original non-duality".
