GU: “Darkness” RU : “One Who Removes” Understanding who is the real Guru, where to find, how to differentiate between real and fake ones etc is very important, so that we are not trapped with fake Gurus and their worn out traditions. There are millions of advisors, counsellors, thousands of masters and gurus. It thus becomes challenging to know who is real and who is fake. Most of them look similar, peaceful, humble and well respected in the “Society". Teachings are almost the same. They teach mostly about life, chakras, healthy living, yoga etc. But there is a very fine line between real and fake ones. Know what is the main cause of you not finding a Real Guru - Enlightened One? The main blockage is your vision. Right vision is very important to find a Guru. This blockage is called Darshanavarniya Karma. Due to this heavy karma you are unable to discover the real teacher. What are the causes of Darshanavarniya Karma? Mainly Ego is the cause of this darkness. To remove this blockage, one must learn first how to surrender? How not to live in Head and start your journey from Head to Heart. Simply long for it and you will get it. Longing comes from heart. Promise yourself that you will change and you want to change as this suffering must go and right path must be seen. Once the search starts from deep down with pure heart and pure intension, you will find the Guru right away. Why is Guru needed for your progress towards Healthy, Happy and Peaceful life? The enlighten one (He/She) shows the real path and you will never be lost in this universe. He/She becomes like an Island and you make take refuge in, anytime during this strong tides in the ocean of life. He/She gives you a little spark with which you can initiate yourself towards transformation. Guru is much needed in the physical form first as they enter into your consciousness and your transformation is triggered. Otherwise, if just watching videos, praying dead masters, rituals etc is not going to help you much. Where to find Real Guru? In many scriptures and many enlightened masters have mentioned that Gurus are always there, it is just the matter of time and student’s urge to discover them. Fortunately we do not have to rely on dead master’s teachings, idols, statues, holy books and religion for our spiritual goal. As living enlightened masters are always available on earth. They are very rare but real student will always find them. Sometimes they can be counted on just one hand, but the important thing is they are available. There are less chances you can find the master in a religious or cultural group or in huge crowd following. What are the Symptoms of an Enlightened one? ** Teachings are straight from the soul, not from the scriptures. ** Because the teachings does not come from acquire knowledge, books or mind, and as not much of thinking is required, the Guru hardly blinks. ( This is a strong visible point you may notice). ** Guru lives in and with the nature. Is not found in crowd. ** Body is symmetrical, proportionate and pure. What does real Guru know? ** Guru knows where to lift you from. ** Your shortcomings and weaknesses. Your strengths. What does the Guru Teach? ** Guru knows what are the main blockages. ** Guru gives you many practical tools for self-improvement. ** Teaches you how to increase the good qualities within, due to which all negative qualities falls off automatically. What is the Role and Responsibility of a Guru? Guru’s teachings and blessings plays a role of a Catalyst in your transformation process. It is not as simple as it may seem. Guru puts you in the test every now and then. In such a way that life starts bringing in the challenging situation, just for your self improvement. Example: you start shedding off layers of ego, jealousy, attachments, day dreaming, desires etc. Guru’s first job is to attack on your Ego and Anger. These are the darkest layer which does not allow you to see things clearly. Guru will hit you - not literally, whenever you are too much into worldly things. Guru wants you to focus and remain focused more and more inside. What will happen now? ** Transformation becomes inevitable. ** Confusion is gone. ** Negativities sheds off. ** Purity comes. ** You start becoming empty and start giving space for God (Divinity, purity, goodness) to enter into your consciousness.
