Every disciple’s end goal is absolute dissolution, complete merge into Shiva. One of the most purest path to achieve this is through bhakti yoga and absolute surrender to Guru. In absolute surrender, there is no existence except that of the Guru. However, it is not easy being with a Guru, a living master. Being with the Guru, every moment the disciple burns a lot of samskaras along with burning the ego, burning the intellect, burning the entire mind matter. When the existence of the disciple is completely burnt he turns into pure ash. That’s when Shiva wears the ash and thus the disciple merges completely into Guru, the Adi Guru – Shiva!
