Guru Pathik quotes from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Guru Pathik

I know I am not the person you expected...and I did not expect to be licked by a giant tongue just now.

Guru Pathik

You have indeed felt a great loss. But love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads' love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new love.

Guru Pathik

Chakras, chakras, everybody loves chakras! Chakras, chakras! Chakra sandwich tastes good! Yum!

Guru Pathik

The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.

Aang

Like the four nations.

Guru Pathik

Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.

Aang

We're all connected. Everything is connected.

Aang

This is the last chakra, isn't it?

Guru Pathik

Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions.

Aang

Let's do this!

Guru Pathik

The Thought Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world.

Guru Pathik

Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river... forgotten.

Aang

[snaps out of his meditation] What? Why would I let go of Katara? I... I love her!

Guru Pathik

Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe.

Aang

[outraged] Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her?! Three chakras ago, that was a good thing!

Guru Pathik

You must learn to let go.

Aang

I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara.

Guru Pathik

Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must opens all the chakras. Surrender yourself.

Aang

Okay, I'll try.

Guru Pathik

Now think of your attachments, and let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. (He meditates again, beginning to lets Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glows version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains by Dai Li Agents and begins to run towards her.)

Aang

What the- Katara is an trouble.

LET ME GO! [His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth]

Aang

AAAAAAGGGHHH!!! [shocked] Katara's in danger! I have to go! [Aang gets up and begins to runs off]

Guru Pathik

No, Aang! Wait! Come back! [Aang slides down the roof before he stops at the edge] By choosin' attachment, you have no match to this locked the all chakras. If you leave now, you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all! [After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off]

Guru Pathik

Third is the fire chakra, located in the stomach. It is strengthened by willpower and blocked by shame.

Aang

My fire chakra would like to eat something other than onion and banana juice.

Guru Pathik

(laughs) Good one. Moving on.

Guru Pathik

Hmm, That chakra opened less like a flowing creek, and more like a (pauses) burping bison!

Aang

(burping) Taste like onion and banana juice... but strangely something else... (smacks lips together) Pickles?

Guru Pathik

(shrugging) Muhum?
