The guru is a master assassin, targeting the false sense of self and the meaningless words that flow from it. They will strip away the superficial layers, leaving you exposed and vulnerable. Your ego, pride, and attachments will be annihilated. Beware, for the guru is a ruthless killer. They will destroy everything that prevents you from realizing your true nature.
The guru will take away the comfortable illusions you've created, including the gods you've worshipped. They will shatter the idols you've built, leaving you with nothing to cling to.
A true guru is a merciless slayer of ignorance. They will render you speechless, unable to articulate your thoughts. You will be reduced to silence, and in that silence, you will discover the voice of the guru.
The guru is a master of deception, killing your false identity while remaining untouched themselves. They are immortal, and their presence will transform you, making you an instrument of their divine will.
If you desire to learn the art of living, then stay away from such a guru. But if you wish to learn the art of dying, of transcending the ego and the mundane, then surrender to their feet. They will kill your false self, and in doing so, make you immortal.
