Closing ceremony of Gurupurnima from Jadan Ashram
The Guru is the source of all light and liberation.
The disciple is like the moon, reflecting the light of the sun, which is the Guru. This light sustains the universe. True devotion is the very appearance of life. The Guru's feet establish the eternal lineage where all divine powers reside. Receiving the Guru's blessings leads to liberation. A gathering of such devotees is exceedingly rare. When auspiciousness arises, all darkness is dispelled. The self-existent Śiva manifested as the primal yogī, from whom the lineage of sages flows.
"Too often he takes himself to be the light, not knowing that he only reflects the light."
"At the feet of the Guru the eternal lineage is established; the Vedas and Purāṇas are gathered."
