As stated in earlier blog, The Guru (Master) is a Bridge between the Humans and the Holy God.
Guru directs his disciple to the
correct path which leads him to the God. At each & every forward step, hurdles
of different types will arise, but at the same time, without losing his
patience, he has to move forward as per the Master’s guidance.
It is the prime responsibility of the
Guru, to help his follower by directing his disciple to pass successfully through the tough phases of life.
Consider the diagram below:-
EXPLANATION:-
At one end, a Living Being is waiting to meet the God at the other end. In between both of them, there is a life span of 60-70 years in this materialistic world, which is full of mean & selfish people. The overall span of life covers with the outcome the positive & negative deeds credited in their account.

The overall span of life covers with the outcome the positive & negative deeds credited in their account.
When the living being (human) starts
to move forward towards the God, he will be surrounded by the 5 Basic Enemies of Life, viz. Lust, Anger,
Greed, Attachment & Ego which further blocks the way out to reach God.
At that instance, the role of Guru
(Master) starts, which guides the disciple from time to time throughout the
life. The Master even accelerates the electrons of the individual, so that he
can ignore the materialistic world and get rid off the life cycle of birth
& death.
That’s why, our ancient sages said in
their scriptures:-
A GURU (MASTER)
THROUGHOUT THE LIFE IS COMPULSORY FOR ALL.
Can guru be someone out of our teachers or friends or relatives...who we consider as our role model or ideal. Is it necessary that he has to be a saint or learned person only?
ReplyDeleteDear Friend,
DeleteIdeal/ Role Model in terms of career, designation or post can be your teacher, friend or relative and subsequently you can follow them. But in case of Spirituality, none of the above can be treated as Guru.
Ideal/ Role Model and Spiritual Guru are different. In my blog, I was trying to describe the role of a Guru which builds a connection between the Individual and the God. It was totally about spirituality not about career/ profession.
For example:-
Your teacher, friend or relative can be your role model in terms of career or profession but with reference to spirituality, they cannot be your Guru. Because they don’t have the knowledge to guide through the process of refining the soul, so as to reach the final destination (The Holy Feet of God)
