गुरू पारस को अंतरो, जानत हैं सब संत I वह लोहा कंचन करे, ये करि लेय महंत II
The Guru never wants the disciple to remain a disciple. The Guru wants the disciple to grow and become the Truth himself. Then there will be no difference between the Guru and the disciple. It is in this that the Guru finds satisfaction and contentment. What kind of satisfaction? The Guru is complete within himself. But just as a mother becomes happy when she sees her child succeeding and getting a good job, the Guru always wants the disciple to excel and exceed even the Guru in his capabilities. In all other relationships, the “I-and-you” division is clearly maintained. But the Guru-disciple relationship seeks to dispel that division. Submission and surrender to the Guru is the royal path to supreme freedom. Guru Ramkrishna Paramhansa molded his disciples with his love and compassion and shaped them into saintly beings who went around the world carrying his message of Peace, Religious Harmony, Brotherhood and Service to Mankind. If it wouldn’t have been Guru Sri Ramkrishna, a common, young, inquisitive boy of the 19th century could not have become Swami Vivekananda.
"Kabir says, Paras stone is known to turn a lowly metal like iron into gold. However a Guru transforms his disciple into a person as revered as himself."
