"Bagaimana Anda mendapatkan rahmat Tuhan? Saat Anda mendisiplinkan diri sendiri. Bagaimana Anda tahu cara mendisiplinkan? Dengan mengamati orang lain yang telah berjalan di jalan dengan sukses menuju tujuan kesempurnaan. Siapa orang-orang ini yang telah berjalan ke gawang? Inilah yang dikenal sebagai Gurus. Jadi Anda membutuhkan bantuan mereka, teladan pribadi mereka, dorongan dan rahmat mereka. Dengan demikian, kita telah menemukan jawaban bahwa seorang Guru diperlukan dan juga rahmatnya. Semuanya diperlukan - \ - \ Atma Kripa, Guru Kripa dan Isvara Kripa."

--- Sivananda
