Sadhu Maharaj on the Grace of the Guru

Sadhu Maharaj tells us in this lecture that without the grace of the guru nothing will happen in life. He says a connection with a spiritual master makes enlightenment possible and it changes us - and he relates his own personal story with this. A connection with a guru is like a light bulb plugged into power - it burns bright and is connected to their own spiritual master in turn. He continues the lecture speaking about the importance of a guru. Recorded during a satsang during Guru Purnima at Yoga Vidya, Bad Meinberg.
