Around the Nabhi Chakra is the Bhav Sagar, the ocean of illusions, the Void. There are hidden Chakras within the Bhav Sagar which represent the Guru Principle and which have to be awakened and manifested. The job of a Guru is to create
a new, higher personality out of a normal human being. The power of
transformation is love and compassion.

Notes
on Guru Puja, 1992, Cabella, Italy To be a Guru is a state –
not a status. A status can be bestowed upon anyone. A state means that
the innate being is evolved to a level that one becomes the Guru. The 7 steps to become
a Guru: 1.
We have to be our own master. 2.
We have to be able to stay in Thoughtless Awareness. When we see without
thought, we become the witness, the Sakshi. When we watch without thought,
there is no obstruction for absorbing the knowledge about that thing.
Complete absorption takes place, it becomes our knowledge and it manifests
joy. 3.
Our Gravity must manifest. In this state we become silent and our gravity
acts like a magnet. We have 4.
We have to achieve Self-Esteem through introspection. We have: - powers
of love We have to know that we are
Gurus and we have to assume our powers. 5.
Reach the state of Silence. In any crisis we have to try and reach that
axes of silence which makes us really powerful because we are not only
in our own silence but in the silence of the cosmos. In this silence
we are in connection with the Divine power which is working out the
whole cosmos and this power works through us. This silence is a sign
that we are definitely in the Kingdom of god and that God is looking
after us. 6.
The Guru Principle gives us Balance. A Guru is not ascetic by nature,
but he is so detached that he becomes ascetic. Nothing can tempt, nothing
can disturb or trouble him, neither food nor money nor power. Nothing
can dominate a Guru. Once this balance settles in, we become absolutely
fearless because we know that nothing can bring us down because we are
above all these things. 7.
A Sahaja Guru is a motherly Guru, a sweet Guru. A Sahaja Guru is different
from classical Gurus. He has to use his power of love, Compassion and
understanding. As we ourselves grew from the normal human level to a
higher state in Sahaj Style, in the same way we have to give it to others.
No harshness is required, we should have kindness, sweetness and concern
towards others and be kind, understanding, patient and sweet. In Sahaja Yoga we have a
collective Gurudom and we have to assume our powers and correct our
self-esteem. With all this knowledge we have to become humble, to bow
down like a tree laden with fruits. And this humility will give us that
special edge which can penetrate into any heart. Thus we become apostles
of truth, and the real faith that God is Almighty becomes one with us. Once the faith in God Almighty becomes absolute and once we know we are his messengers – then we are in the Gurupada.
