Truly, perfect discipleship — which is the steadfast Supreme Devotion that flares up with the merging of the ego into the Light of Supreme Stillness (i.e. Self-Consciousness) — is alone the right Guruship. Thus you should know.

He who turns you towards Self and reveals to you the knowledge of Self, is the Guru. In truth He is Self and He is God. Cling to Him.
Michael James: As the whole universe which we see is but a projection of Self, Self alone is God, the real creator of the universe. It is also Self alone that, after maturing the devotee through so many births, takes the form of the human Guru in order to reveal Jnana to him. Thus God, Guru and Self are one and the same.
