LAMP
Guru is a lamp
You just travel with me. As you travel with me, the energy from me will touch you in all ways needed, by taking you places, breaking blocks and will bring you to a point where you see your X. The same X is in both of us. One lamp is burning. The other lamp has oil and wick. I light this lamp with my lamp. The lamp that I am is not reduced by lighting yours. So it is clear that I did not give you the spark. Is the spark coming from me or is it coming from the wick dipped in oil? The spark has merely induced another spark in your thread. It was there in you. Exactly in the same way, the X in me, when it bombards you, the X in you will come out. This is the only way that has a high chance of being successful in this lifetime. Look, there are always so many ways to do a thing, but the way that is most likely to be successful should be adopted.
Just like one lamp lights another, Guru is a lamp that is a wick burning. Disciple is a wick that is ready to be lit. That’s it.
Understand this well, Iyarkai (Nature) has given Mahaprabu all the Shakti and power. It created Mahaprabu just for this.
