and large teeth, that people are terrified of him. You fool! There is no such creature called Jamraj. Death is Niyamraj (Natural law). Everything is run by natural laws. It is this Niyamraj that runs everything. It is the one that dictates our life and death. Now would one have any fear if he had this correct understanding?

Say if someone is told that the jungle he has to pass through has no tigers or lions but they forget to tell him that in the jungle there is one cage with a lion in it. As he is going through the jungle, he hears a roar of the lion. He gets scared and runs back from the jungle. Had he known that the lion was caged he would not have been scared. The man fled because he had incomplete information. In the same way how can you solve the problems of life with incomplete information?
Gurukilli : A Key That Prevents The Master From Sinking
The Lord has said that you should not become a guru, but if you do, then you should keep a master's key (Gurukilli), support with you. Otherwise you will drown spiritually as your intoxication of ego of being guru increases. The Lord has never been anyone's guru and here you find gurus everywhere. There are some that renounce the burden of a wife and children and burden themselves with two to five hundred disciples. These fools will drown themselves. Guru means heavy. The heavy ones will themselves drown and drown others along with them. I am the humblest of the humble. I will never drown nor will I drown others. I am as light as a flower. I swim and help others swim across the ocean of worldly life, because I am the Savior. I am liberated and posses power to liberate many others. I am no one's guru.
The Lord has even said that if you become a guru, bear in mind that the position of a guru entails a great responsibility

and risk. If you do not maintain this awareness, you will be doomed. If you want to be a guru, you must get a master's key from a Gnani Purush. Then only will you be able to help others. Otherwise it is a state that will intoxicate you heavily. The position of a guru carries great responsibility.
Once a few worldly gurus came to visit me and asked me, 'Is it not necessary for people to have a guru?" I told them that only true gurus are helpful. Otherwise guru means heavythe heavy one will sink and take others down along with him. I am the humblest of the humble in worldly dealings and highest of the high in internal spiritual world. I would never succumb to the role of a worldly guru; those who assume superiority over others. Realize that when you become humble in the worldly life, then in the spiritual life you become elevated. Otherwise, if as a guru you do not have humility, you will drown yourself and others along with you.
Agam (mysterious, that which can never be understood) Gnan is gnan that has gone beyond everyone's comprehension. Agam is that which one can never gain insight to. The Gnan I have given you is agam gnan. People have the knowledge of nigam gnan (informative, worldly, relative knowledge) but not of agam (the Self-realization which is beyond expression of words). But if the guru himself is filled with the wrong knowledge, if he mistakes the north for the south, what can be expected of him?
Shushka gnan (wordy or verbal knowledge) is knowledge, which does not produce any results. It is like a tree that bears flowers but no fruits. The current time is so strange; there is fruitless gnan everywhere you look.
