So many search for a guru, thinking awakening comes from someone else’s light. But a true guru—a real dispeller of darkness—doesn’t just teach you spiritual concepts. They mirror your true nature so you can see who you really are.

A guru’s mission isn’t to keep you dependent. It’s to awaken you to the reality that the guru lives in you. Their light shows you your own brilliance, not theirs alone.

Why is this so powerful?

Because life’s hypnotic routines keep most people in a trance—reacting, fearing, striving for approval. When you meet a guru who’s awake, they don’t just give you knowledge. They disrupt your sleepwalking. They activate the part of you that remembers:

“I am the light I’ve been seeking.”

This is what Kevin means when he teaches that the highest path isn’t about worshipping outside yourself. It’s about embodying what the guru reflects. The moment you claim your true awareness, you no longer need to chase; you begin to radiate.

So honor the teachers and guides who hold the lamp for you.
But know your deepest responsibility is to become your own guru—
To dispel your own darkness,
And to stand as a beacon for others.

Because the world doesn’t just need more followers of light.
It needs more beings who remember they are the light.
