Here's a fun little talk that SSRS gave about the Guru function:

If You Want To Come To Me - Sri Sri
"Praising me is not enough. I am not satisfied by your praises,gratefulness and
gratitude. Do not just keep me on the stage, on the altar, put flowers and say,
Jai Gurudev!’ Keep me in your heart.When you are grateful, there is also a lot
of gratitude and you feel like praising. But all this should be converted into
your soul and make you blossom.
Once in a while when you have a problem, you come and say JaiGurudev. Don’t say
it only some times, say it all the time,everyday and every minute. All these
qualities you see in me are also in you.
Only when you keep me in your heart, does guru ship arise in you.Otherwise just
doing pad puja (worshiping the feet), saluting and running away, nothing will
be born in you. If you only want to garland flowers, then go to temples. There
are many idols there. There is no need of a Guru then. Not only that, there are
many people in the world,who love to sit and be garlanded. Go and garland them.
If you have come to me, then change. Change from inside.
There is no happiness in the world which you cannot get by being on the path of
knowledge. Once you taste this nectar, everything else will be bitter. Once you
begin to float in this, you will never experience a lack of anything in any way
in your life.
Don’t keep me at a distance. By staying far away from me you have no benefit
whatsoever. You are just wasting your time and mine too. Whatever I am, you are
that too. Whatever you thought was impossible for you, I have come here to show
you that it is possible.
This body, this prana, has only one mission. It has come for one reason - to
introduce you all to your own self, to reveal the true self to you. Who are
you? You are truth. You are shiva. You are beauty.
See, many people come here. Some come just to visit the place and say, “oh!
nice.” some feel nice inside and say, “oh! nice energy!”they take few deep
breaths and go back after one or two days in a good state of mind. Few others
come and stay a little longer, while, while others just loot every thing. They
take every thing. And that is good. Those are the kind of people I want. They
must loot everything.
The shop is open. So loot all you can."
Yah baby!!!
