The Need of Guru

The Guru is a window who provides the first glimpse of eternity. The Guru is like a door through which one crosses into the transcendental world of truth. The Guru is a friend who sees himself in us and knows the possibilities which are lying as seeds in us. The Guru is the compassionate one who loves us for no reason and is never judgmental.

The Master never claims that he is god and others are not; on the contrary the master gives us hope that we are similar to him, very much like him with this little difference - we are not aware of who we are and the Guru knows who he is. Knowledge can be gained from books but true knowing happens with the master alone. Guru is not a teacher but one who lives knowledge, a seeker has to make a bridge with the master to receive the deep subtleties of the spiritual world.
