***********************************

 

The Guru is a realized soul. He is one who has merged with the

Supreme. His life is full of dedication and selfless service. He is

prepared to do any thyaaga. According to the Sashtras, a Guru is one,

who has been appointed by the Supreme Power to make others realize the

guruthwa in them and also teach them that the Supreme Power dwells in

each one of them. Guru is a reincarnation of God. One need not be

taught what is the knowledge within, because each one is his own

Guru. The sharira (body) and mana (mind), of the unit, which is known

as a human being, do not realize that they have all these powers. To

make him understand this, a Guru is required. That is why the Supreme

Power does not teach you, only a Guru teaches you. The Supreme Power

makes you feel that he is within you, but the Guru shows it to you

and proves to

you that he dwells within. Only when the Guru makes you realize this,

you can feel it. This realization can be brought to you only by the

Guru, not by the God and this is how Guru-Gita begins.
