🙏 Don't Depend on Your Guru! | Swami Chinmayananda on Self-Effort & Spiritual Responsibility 🙏

In this deeply thought-provoking talk, Swami Chinmayananda, one of the greatest modern spiritual masters, reminds us of a foundational truth on the spiritual path: no one can walk the path for you—not even your Guru. The Guru can inspire, guide, and offer an ideal learning environment, but the inner transformation must come from the seeker’s own self-effort.

📿 This video is a wake-up call to all spiritual aspirants who may unknowingly fall into passive devotion, leaning on the teacher without actively practicing the teachings.

🔔 Key Insights in This Video:
The Guru is a moving force—you cannot lean on him for support.

Being near the Guru is not enough—you must apply the teachings in daily life.

Swamiji humorously compares serving the Guru to a cow in the ashram—mere presence doesn’t equal progress.

Spiritual laziness dressed as devotion is a major obstacle.

You must take your own medicine—others cannot do your inner work for you.

00:00 – Don’t Lean on the Teacher: Gurus are on the move. If you lean, you’ll fall.
00:30 – The Guru Is Not Responsible: It’s not his grace you're lacking—it's your effort.
01:00 – Swamiji’s Diabetes Analogy: Others followed instructions, but his illness remained until he acted.
01:30 – Presence ≠ Progress: Serving the Guru doesn’t ensure growth—even a cow can serve the Guru.
01:50 – Tune the Mind, Then Apply It: True discipleship is mental tuning + self-application.
