Meaning

Listen up, fam. The wise peeps who've cracked the code? They'll school you. But you gotta earn it: major respect, bomb questions, and total dedication.

Commentary

Yo, wanna achieve enlightenment? Hit up the gurus, the OG's who've actually *been* there. Don't just be a bystander; show mad respect – full-on prostrations, bomb questions, and total dedication. But real talk, a guru who's all book smarts but hasn't walked the walk won't get you there. You need someone who's lived it, someone who's achieved self-realization. It's not just about bowing down; it's about total faith and commitment. No cap.
