"The syllable 'gu' of the word 'Guru' means
darkness & the syllable 'ru' means light. Thus, Guru is the great one who takes a disciple from darkness (ignorance)
to enlightenment (True Knowledge)." -Lord Shiva in Shri Guru Gita
SatGuru Shri Asaramji Bapu
Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu
Guru Devo Maheshwara
Guru Sakshat Par Brahma
Tasmai Shri Gurve Namah...
"Who is a SatGuru?
The one who takes his disciple (shishya) from the state of Jivatva (identifying the self with body) to the
state of Shivatva (identifying the self with the Supreme Soul), takes him from the state of being a disciple
to the state of being a Guru, enables him to experience the supreme happiness by nurturing him with the nectar
of the Real-Self, gives him the divine-food of the supreme state by bathing him in the nectar of meditation &
true knowledge."
- Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu
"A farmer may put all his efforts & resources in sowing seeds & fertilizing the
farm, but without the light of the sun, all his efforts bear no fruit. Similarly, no matter
how much Japa-Tapa & spiritual practices a man does, he still remains lost in the darkness of ignorance,
until the light of True-Knowledge from a SatGuru shines upon him." - Swami Ram Teerth
"How should a disciple worship his SatGurudev?
By adopting the teachings of Guruji in his
everyday life. That itself is the ultimate worship of SatGuru."
-Sureshanand ji
If we are completely dedicated & devoted towards the SatGuru & His divine words, then
the SatGuru shall take control of the reins of our life and easily lead us to the state of Self-Realization.
