Do not go in search of gurus. Strengthen your faith in the Atma. Seek to enjoy Atmic bliss. Strive to develop the conviction: “I am Atma”. That is the true message. When you have grasped this Truth, all other things will be unnecessary. For experiencing this Guru, there are no restrictions on time, place, or circumstances. Only for the man steeped in the mind, changes in time exist, and he is bound by them. But to the man who transcended the limitations of time, everything remains immutable. This spiritual state can be reached only through confidence in the Atma. Guru Poornima is observed as a day for honouring the Guru. Some types of gurus welcome this day as the day which brings them income. They are an inferior breed. The real Guru is only one. He is the One, God of gods, who is hailed as father, mother, teacher, knowledge, wealth and all else. He is the Supreme whom you must seek through your sadhana. God alone can transform your spiritual efforts into a transcendental experience. – Divine Discourse, Jul 7, 1990
