Guru means “that which brings dark to light”. You are this. Within you is all the wisdom you will ever need. Just as a drop of the ocean contains the entire sea, when you were born you were born with all the wisdom of the Universe in every cell of your body. Have you ever - ever - told a lie and not known you were lying? Have you ever stolen something and not known you were stealing? I'm not passing judgement on lying or stealing. Those are man-made laws and only you know if your actions are true to you. But each of us know when we are acting in accordance with Spiritual Laws and each of us know when we are not.

The whole point is to be true unto thyself - and to think for your Self. Stop relying on others to make decisions for you. Don't let the government, television, parents, teachers, preachers tell you who to be. Start taking responsibility for who you are and stop blaming others. Blame does not absolve you of your mistakes and shortcoming. Blaming others does not make your wrong right. Start living YOUR TRUTH.

When you start taking responsibility for your life, you can begin the steps towards Self Mastery. Self Mastery in nothing more than being true to your Self, being able to speak your Truth, and having the fortitude to choose Truth when untruth seems easier. When you can guide your Self in these ways, you have become your own Guru.

Sat Nam,
