साधू शब्द समुद्र है, जामें रतन भराय I मंद भाग मुठ्ठी भरै, कंकर हाथ लगाय II
Wherever a devotee has reached the stage of mental concentration on object of contemplation and has inculcated the ideal of inward purity in himself, the Almighty God manifests himself as the "Guru" and appears before him in order to bless him with the elixir of life in the form of his teachings. Guru is a self luminous phenomenon and a personification of purity symbolizing the effulgence engendered by the endearing look and a kind outlook. The devotee must aim at nothing but the discovery of truth; he must also realise that this form of truth manifests everywhere outside his frame in all its glory. The reality of this trinity of truthful manifestation is something which we see everywhere. This indeed is the state of truth and of the Guru who has descended on the earthly plane to deliver us from bondage and also to promote our spiritual progress. A disciple must realize this and keep the Guru close to his heart and dance in ecstasy. The Guru is the ocean of kindness and an embodiment of love, not only within himself but also without.
"Kabir says, a Guru is the ocean of kindness, holding abundant riches of noble virtues within. However if one seeks his blessings for worldly gains, then it will be like diving deep into the ocean and accumulate pebbles instead of pearls."
