2. A real Guru
Who is a real Guru?A real Guru is he
Who does not call you stupid,
    Undivine and useless.
A real Guru is he who says:
“You have knowledge,
But you need more knowledge.
Try, you certainly can!”
A real Guru is he who says:
“You are divine,
But you can be more divine.
Try, you certainly can!”
A real Guru is he who says:
“You are useful,
Infinitely more useful
Than you ever can imagine.
But you can be more useful.
Try, you certainly can!”
A real Guru is he who says:
“You are God’s chosen instrument.
You are useful,
You are fruitful,
You are indispensable
To the divine Vision of God.”
