Translations:Padma Sambhava/14/en

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.^[1] 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.

↑ 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.
