In Defense of the Guru Principle

In Defense of the Guru Principle

Andrew writes with candor and passion about his own experience as a spiritual mentor, and the challenge that an uncompromising example presents to a world grown comfortable with compromise and limitation. Provocative and inspiring, this small book explores the liberating potential in the relationship between the student and the true teacher, and speaks out in defense of this time-honored tradition.

". . . The dual thrust of Andrew Cohen's challenge fundamentally calls into question the vested interests of the 'spiritual establishment'—that informal network of organizations, publications and teachers who have become comfortable with something less than the goal of ultimate freedom. . . . In this small book, Cohen makes clear that the Guru principle, in the proper sense, is nothing less than the call to awaken itself. This call, when presented powerfully and without compromise, will always be unwelcome to a world asleep in the dream of ego."
