If I look back at all the teachers I have had, the ones I have really loved are those that made me aware, and not those that tried to teach me. My periods of maximum learnings have been those when I was made aware of myself and not those, when my teachers took me away from myself and attempted to make me something else, which I was probably not (don't know, because I was not aware).
Guru, doesn't teach. He makes me aware of me, myself and my coherence with the surroundings.
