“The love of a disciple for their guru is the deepest love.  It transcends all levels of personality and conditionality.  It is an indescribable feeling – a combination of gratitude, openness, appreciation, and unconditional love.  Love for this kind of teacher or mentor is not personal – they are a reflection of the disciple, reflecting that person’s deepest, most divine self.  This type of love exceeds all boundaries of time and space, and continues on even after that mentor figure has passed away.”
