God and Guru are one and the same

[Guest guest]

God and Guru are one and the same<br><br>The Guru

is God’s manifest form while the unmanifest form of

the Guru is God. <br><br>A bank has several branches.

According to one’s convenience one opens an account and

deposits money in a local branch. There is no need to take

the trouble of going to the main branch situated else

where in a distant place, to deposit the money. In the

same way spiritual emotions (bhav), devotion, service,

sacrifice etc. are easier to practice in the context of

God’s manifest (sagun) form, that is Guru, instead of

doing them for the invisible unmanifest God. Just as

the money deposited in any branch of a bank finally

reaches its main branch so also service rendered unto the

Guru amounts to that of God. <br><br>With
