Meaning: This sloka tries to describe the qualities of a true Guru. A real Guru

has the following qualities. He experiences the supreme Bliss of Brahmaananda

(transcedental divine bliss). He enjoys and confers changeless supreme

happiness. He is beyond space and time (there is nothing higher than him). He is

the embodiment of wisdom which is the basis for all types of knowledge. He

transcends the pair of opposites (such as happiness and sorrow, gain and loss).

He is more Omnipresent than space itself. He is the very embodiment of the

Divine principle, which is the inner meaning of the four great pronouncements

Prajnaanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Thath Thvam Asi and Ayam Aathma Brahma. He is

One without a second (ekam). He never changes under any circumstances (nithyam).

He is without any type of impurity (vimalam). He is steady and

motionless(achalam) . He is the witness of everything. He transcends mental

comprehension and verbal explanation. He is

beyond the three gunas (sathva, rajas and thamas). I offer my humble

salutations to such a Guru who possesses all these qualities.
