Never consider the Sadguru as an ordinary human being. Those who can see only his body are really blind. They cannot understand his compassion. The Sadguru brings salvation to those who surrender. It doesn't mean that he is selfish and wants to liberate only his disciples but the irony is that he showers on all but only disciples can receive his prasad whose vessel is open and straight "Guru Lobhi, Shishya Lalchi, Dono Khele Dav,Dono Bude Bapure, Chadi Patther ki Nav." When the Guru and disciple are fake, greedy and selfish there is always exploitation of each other. It become almost like a market, wherein two beggars are meeting and asking each other to offer something. In other terms, this is like one blind guiding another blind. Result? Both will fall in a valley and suffer. A fake Guru is lost in darkness and Illusion and he offers the same to his followers. Then both are drown in the well of illusion - Maya. They will remain entangled in Maya forever. "Guru Saman Data Nahin, Yaachak Shishya Saman.Teen Lok ki Sampada, So Guru Dinhi Daan" There is no benefactor like Master and no supplicant like disciple. The Master fills him with TRUTH, a precious knowledge of three worlds. It is the ultimate treasure. "Guru Paras ko Antaro, Jaanat hai Sab Sant Vah Loha Kanchan Kare, Ye Kari Ley Mahant" The Sadguru is not only a touchstone (Parasmani) but also above it. A touchstone transforms a piece of iron into pure gold but he cannot make him a touchstone while Sadguru's compassion is so great that he transforms the disciple into an enlightened one means he can make him like his own self. "Kabira Hari ke Roothate, Guru ke Sharanai JaayKahain Kabir Guru Roothate, Hari Nahin hot Sahay" Saint Kabir places Sadguru before God. One may feel protected with Sadguru, if God is angry with the disciple but, if Sadguru is displeased with you then even God cannot protect you. So Sadguru is greater than the God himself. Lord Shiva him-self conveyed to his consort, Goddess Parvati, a fund of knowledge and wisdom about the Guru in Guru-Geeta. Three adhyaya/chapters, in the latter part of Skandpuran, one of the most widely read of the eighteen Purans written by Sage Ved Vyas, also referred to reverentially as Vyas Bhagwan. Asit Giri Samamsyat Kajjalam Sindhupatre, Surtaruvar Shakha Lekhini Patramurvi | Likhiti Yadi Gruhitva Sharada Sarvakalam, Tadyapi Tav Gunanamish Paaram Na Yaati || Oh Sadguru! Even if Maa Saraswati keeps on writing forever (Anant kal) on the leaves of all the trees about you and your virtues, she can not do so even with a help of a pen (kalam) made of all the mountains and ink (syahi) made of all sea waters of this earth. Such is your greatness! GururBrahma, GururVishnu Gururdevo Maheshwarah I Guruh Sakshat Param Brahma Tasmai ShreeGurave Namah II The guru is Brahma, He is Vishnu, He is Shiva; The Guru is indeed Parabrahma, the supreme Absolute. Salutation to Him. DhyanMulam GurorMurti, PoojaMulam GurorPadam IMantraMulam GurorVakyam, MokshaMulam GurorKrupa II The root of meditation is the Guru's form; The root of worship is the Guru's feet; The root of mantra is the Guru's word; The root of liberation is the Guru's Grace.
