The Guru: An Eternal Divine Friend The guru-disciple relationship is the highest expression of friendship, for it is based on unconditional divine love and wisdom. It is the loftiest and most sacred of all relationships. Christ and his disciples were all one in spirit. My Master said to me: “I will be your friend from now through eternity, no matter whether you are on the lowest mental plane or on the highest plane of wisdom. I will be your friend even if you should err, for then you will need my friendship more than at any other time.” When I accepted my Master’s unconditional friendship, he said: “Will you give me the same unconditional love?” He gazed at me with childlike trust.“I will love you eternally, Gurudeva!” The friendship that exists between guru and disciple is eternal. There is complete surrender; there is no compulsion. (Excerpts from the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda)
