Padma Sambhava/ru: Difference between revisions

Padma Sambhava bestowed upon the [[messenger]] [[Elizabeth Clare Prophet]] the [[mantle]] of [[guru]] and gave her the name “[[Guru Ma]].” “Guru Ma” means the teacher who is a devotee of the Divine Mother.<ref>A ''mantle'' is a symbol of authority, preeminence or responsibility, a spiritual office. With its bestowal, there is passed from guru to disciple a great sphere of light. A ''guru'' is a spiritual teacher who not only teaches about the spiritual path, but he or she also sets the example of how one must walk that path.</ref> Wearing the mantle of guru, the messenger is the servant of the light of God within you. The guru helps you find your way back home to God.  

With the transfer of the mantle from master to disciple comes the transfer of responsibility. The disciple pledges to carry on the mission of his master. In order for the work of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] to continue on earth, someone in embodiment must wear the mantle of guru. Today there are very few true gurus in embodiment who are sponsored by the Great White Brotherhood. Padma Sambhava is a part of a special lineage of gurus of the Great White Brotherhood called the hierarchy of the ruby ray. The chain of hierarchy in this lineage is from [[Sanat Kumara]] (the Ancient of Days) to [[Gautama Buddha]], [[Lord Maitreya]], [[Jesus Christ]] and Padma Sambhava.
