The external teacher is but the suggestion. When faith in the external teacher is strong, then the Teacher of all teachers within speaks; eternal wisdom speaks in the heart of that man. He need not go any more to any books or any men or any higher beings; he need not run after supernatural or preternatural beings for instruction. The Lord Himself becomes his instructor. He gets all he wants from himself. [There is] no more need to go to any temple or church. His own body has become the greatest temple in the world, and in that temple lives the Lord of Creation. In every country great saints have been born, wonderful lives have been [lived] — coming out of the sheer power of love. Swami Vivekananda Guru the living divinity न गुरोरधिकं तत्त्वं न गुरोरधिकं तपः । तत्त्वज्ञानात् परं नास्ति तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥११॥ Na Guror-Adhikam Tattvam Na Guror-Adhikam Tapah | Tattva-Jnyaanaat Param Naasti Tasmai Shrii-Gurave Namah ||11|| Meaning: 11.1: (Salutations to the Guru) Neither is there any Reality Beyond the Guru, Nor is there any Austerity Higher than the Guru, 11.2: There is no Knowledge of Truth beyond what comes From the Guru; Salutations to that Guru. Guru Stotram
