Can the Guru assure you of liberation? || Acharya Prashant, on Nitnem Sahib (2019)

अउध घटै दिनसु रैणारे ॥मन गुर मिलि काज सवारे ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥जा कउ आए सोई बिहाझहु हरि गुर ते मनहि बसेरा ॥

~ राग गौरी पूरबी, पाँचवा महला, सोहिला साहिब

Translation:

The life passes day and night.My mind, meet the Guru so that he sets things right. Meet the Guru so that he attaches you to the recitation of the name of God.Make the deal for which you have come to the world. Recite the name of the God, and through Grace of the Guru The Lord will settle in your mind.

~ Raag Gauri Purvi, Fifth Mehla, Sohila Sahib

Question: Acharya Ji, your talks and pointings are the best things that have happened to me. Being an under-nourished soul, not reciting His name enough, my mind struggles with greed and fear. Please assure me that you are my Guru and you will take me outside the cycle of birth and death.

Somewhere inside me I can see that is still looking for a guarantee, but I can’t help myself. Today is my birthday, and I beg you for this eternal gift.
