This statement is the core of Baba's teaching against the possibility of spiritual isolation. Chapter 27 explains that a Guru and devotee are two aspects of a single, unified whole. Any attempt to forcibly separate them is a futile act born of pride. This philosophy posits that their connection is so profound that 'one does not remain without the other.' Therefore, feeling isolated is a sign of a superficial understanding, or being a 'raw disciple.' For a devotee who has surrendered to a perfect Guru, the concept of duality, and by extension isolation, ceases to exist. There is no distance between them in their 'eternal stay,' making loneliness an impossibility in the face of this non-dual reality.
The text mentions 'Guru and devotee are not different.' Can you elaborate on this philosophy regarding isolation?
