The word Guru has become very overused in our culture of short cuts and quick-fixes. This book is such a treasure, not least because it gives us back the true meaning: dispeller of ignorance in the purely spiritual sense; one who leads from darkness to light. Rather than coming from the dry intellectual mind, it is written in the simple direct terms of the heart. It reveals the true meaning of the sacred relationship between a fully realised spiritual Master, and a sincere seeker of truth, covering the pitfalls to finding a Guru, and suggesting ways to discover whether a Guru is both genuine and suited to an individual. It then explores the beautiful journey beyond that discovery: the uncompromising bond of commitment between the two.
