WHAT IS THE MEANING OF GURU?

 Dear Bhai …..

Once the sadhak accepts the need of Guru in his life, he understands Guru's importance. He understands that Guru means a ladder that helps to climb the steps of the progress in his life, it is a chain that connects his thoughts, understanding and conduct regarding everything to higher levels in sadhana, it is a lively and creative book that explains all tendencies and subtle understanding of the mind clearly. If we describe it further, it is the Consciousness-Energy and understanding that is expressed within us regarding many mysteries of life like, 'what is the mystery of human life? why are we born? how are we connected to everyone in Sansar? what is the purpose of life? how are we connected to the universe?' and so forth. 

Moreover, Guru is the light of the life that explains and shows us how the Consciousness-energy develops inert substances, substances in between inert and conscious, and conscious beings. Guru is the Knowledge- Energy that explains how everything in the universe is connected to this divine Consciousness-Energy. Guru is the one with whose cooperating heart we can understand the purpose of the universe and Shree Bhagwan. Guru makes it possible for us to observe and experience the cosmic dance in the universe involving origin, maintenance and destruction in the smallest of the small time frame. He also makes us observe such cosmic dance taking place in our own lives.
