Guru and seeker

A guru shows the way and leaves
not waiting to see the impact they leave
going from place to place to spread their message
no disciples but some private space they need

Another guru is accompanied by disciples
who do their bidding
and keep a distance between
the guru and the public

And some gurus stay at a place
public visits to seek their blessings
in the belief that the guru will fulfill all their wishes
without them having to do anything

Wishes are fulfilled
or wishes are belied
for the benefit of soul
and welfare of humankind

gurus can only show the way
rest is to be done
by the seekers themselves
and there is no shorter way

fruits are not
in the hands of anyone
neither of the guru
nor the seeker

both have to do their duty
guru as an enlightened facilitator
and seekers for dispelling their darkness
everyone for their own salvation.
