[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

From the SRF Lessons (S-4 P-101)

"It is only by deep concentration and fixing the eyes on the point between the eyebrows, and by being able to hold the light before our inner gaze for any length of time with open or closed eyes, that we can gradually learn to send the consciousness and the life force through the spiritual eye into the Infinite . . .

The two physical eyes are given to us by our human parents to cognize this world of matter, i.e., a limited range of vibrations: owing to their limited sensibility, the physical eyes see only certain vibrations of matter. But by opening the spiritual eye, one may behold God.

A guru - literally, one who leads from darkness ("gu") to light ("ru") - is he who is sent by God to help aspiring devotees to open the spiritual eye.

. . . Deeply meditating SRF students will not have to die in darkness. They will be guided by the SRF gurus through the luminous spiritual eye into the infinite light of God
