"When you choose a Guru,
You become a follower,
When your Guru chooses you,
You become a disciple."
The word "GURU" is derived from 2 words- "GU" and "RU." The Sanskrit root "GU" means darkness or ignorance and "RU" denotes the remover of darkness. Therefore, a Guru is one who removes the darkness of our ignorance. But how to remove or dispel darkness?
You cannot kick the darkness out of a place because darkness is not an existence by itself. Darkness is just absence of light. A true Guru, who has realised his identity with the Omnipresent Spirit, can lead the seeker on his inward journey towards perfection. According to Yoganand Paramhansji- "Only a master, one who knows GOD may rightly teach others about HIM." He, who faithfully follows a true Guru becomes like him.
Let's celebrate Guru Purnima wholeheartedly.
