A disciple, after Realization once said to his Guru; ‘I now realize that you dwelt in my innermost heart as the one Reality in all my countless births and have now come before me is human shape and lifted this veil of ignorance. What can I do in return for such a great benefit?’ And the Guru replied; ‘You need not do anything. It is enough if you remain as you are in your true state.’
