Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Jai Jinendra Mark, Well said Mark,Jupiter is truly a Guru of Guru.Now Who is a true Guru and How one is suppose to find it externally in outside world, there can be different category Dharam Guru,Karam Guru and Nuture Guru(Mother) etc.True guru must be within yourself; which reflects your soul in front of GOD and Guru working as a mediator to feel the same.In my defination GOD is for liberation or one who can make you like HIM. GOD is a Guru and Guru can be a GOD too.One's for all everyone's soul is a Guru of himself to achieve a Moksha and there no one will come your friends,sister's,lover's,parents etc etc.As relationship itself is illusion, so does our existense or in other words all is real and Moksha is a illusion to achieve.
