Imagine a book in your hand and a friend comes by as you are reading it. On seeing the friend you ask for a loan of ten rupees. The friend is willing to give the loan but before that, he wishes to see the book you are reading. As the friend turns a few pages, he finds a ten rupee note inside the book and asks you why you want a loan when the ten rupee note is already inside the book. Immediately you respond, “I forgot about this ten rupee note that I placed in the book! I no longer need a loan”, and you are now very happy. The fact is that the ten rupee note really is yours and you forgot it, which your friend pointed out for you! So too, a real Guru points out the divine aspect within you, and draws your attention to the reservoir of strength and wisdom in your own hearts.
