What is the primary obstacle in the Guru-disciple relationship and how can one achieve true spiritual success?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 19

Chapter 19 teaches that the primary obstacle is the 'sense of difference like 'I and Thou',' which acts as a wall between the Guru and the disciple. Tearing down this wall is essential to reach a state of non-duality. The chapter further questions our mortality by asking, 'Who is immortal here?' It answers that true success is not just existing but attaining 'spiritual wealth.' This is achieved by recognizing God as the sole master ('Allah-Malik') and understanding that our meeting with the Guru is due to the ties of past debts (Rinanubandha). By removing the 'I and Thou' barrier and holding mutual love, a devotee can attain this spiritual wealth.
