Guru sishya

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

Guru (spiritual teacher) is the eternal Self. Sishya (spiritual aspirant / student) is a particular body+mind entity. One can learn from any part of the Universe . Hence, Guru is said to be all-pervading. Guru is present in every being as Self and is known as internal Guru. When a particular mind is outward bound, and seeks spirituality, it automatically seeks it in the external world. To guide such persons, Guru with a form is necessary.

Guru : In some highly evolved beings, who are self-realised, the expression of Self is natural to guide others. Such noble souls are rare to find. They can be taken as an external Guru.

Fake Guru : As there is great demand for Guru, and supply is less, fake gurus are there to milk material gains out of this demand.

Fake sishya : The hallmark of every being is to search for happiness, hence there can be no fake students. There can be students who are less hardworking.

What happens when karma brings one to a Guru :

There is no magical spell from guru that can act as a panacea for all problems one faces. Guru is ruthless, he shows you what you are, what your faults are. It is for you to take rectification action. Guru may suggest some ways to do that. But the action, you have to take. There is no respite, Guru completely destroys you. What is destroyed is your ego. What is left is the Self which is always there.

In Guruseva
