Not Guru Worship; Simply an Unbroken Flow of Truth Revealing ItSelf
(I was recently asked a question in an email and what follows is the essence of my response which, upon reflection, I decided to post here also.)
I often used to record conversations on the computer regarding anything about consciousness to listen to later. I once heard a 'transformational coach' being asked the question: "do you give everyone equal attention?". The answer that came from the coach was: "more attention is given to those who are 'close' so I can pull them through and make room for those coming up behind". There were some moments here of shock at witnessing the apparent ignorance in this statement.
Then some insight electrically switched the mind to another scenerio of my life-sitaution, and there was immediate contemplation of myself as a video editor witnessing many hours of satsang footage that showed Mooji giving undivided attention to everybody equally and seeing all equally, seeing ONLY what is real in all, despite any attempts from anybody to obtain validation of anything that was not truth.
And gratitude deepened so profoundly for true sages that see all as one, the same one consciousness in each expression attempting to clear away the delusion appearing to eclipse the Light of that one consciousness. Tears came. And then words "thank God for Mooji who points me to the sat guru within, to the truth of my own Being, and allows me to see that even the ignorance in the statement made by the 'coach' can be seen as Grace."
Having been as stuck as I was in the delusion, and now seeing every moment as taking one more illusiory step out of the illusory insane-mud, I am like the lotus that needed the mud to grow out of in order to see the truth of itself, and Mooji is the Grace that urges the lotus to see and to be the Truth of itself, and not the mud out of which it grows. (These are all concepts of course, but they point to that which I have no words for).
I see no teaching in what Mooji speaks. I see and experience only constant revelations of truth in an unbroken flow.
For me, this is not 'guru worship' as it is also seen that any true sage is simply Truth appearing as form in this moment. The way in which Truth appears here (to 'me') in a form-identity is Mooji, however this does not negate any other appearance of form that Truth takes to reveal itself in any moment. I can only say there are no words that express the deep appreciation and gratitude I have for the one we call Mooji, or the one we call Ramana, Maharaj, or any sage by any name that is, in Truth, our own Self pointing firmly to the One Self that we are.
Thanks to the Grace that operates in this life-situation, the two channels for which I currently do video-editing are below:

All is Grace; truth appearing as form in this moment, to be recognized.
"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God". (Course in Miracles)
"What is real cannot be destroyed; what is imagined will never be real." (Mooji)
