Premanand Maharaj Ji
How should I express gratitude to my Guru?
Balihari, not thank you, for the Guru
Thanks and gratitude are for others, but the Guru is your own soul. Instead of thanks, feel balihari for his nature and his compassion.
I am devoted to Your nature and Your compassion, that You are dragging along one as low as me. Thanks or gratitude is offered to others. The Guru is one's own soul.
