गुरू बिन ज्ञान न उपजै, गुरू बिन मिलै न मोष I गुरू बिन लखै न सत्य को, गुरू बिन मिटै न दोष II
Life is a dichotomy. Life is not simple, it is so complicated. Opposites make life, such as pleasure and pain, happiness and suffering, greed and generosity, passion and dispassion. Life is full of opposite values, and they pull you in different directions. When the complications in life become too much, the poor mind is unable to handle it, and it just breaks down. That is when it needs support. This is when the Guru comes into picture and saves the mind. So, whatever you cannot handle, whatever appears too much for you, give it away to the Guru, so that you remain sane and balanced. When the surcharge electricity comes, the circuit breakers stop the excess flow of electricity and saves the apparatus. You can say that the Guru is such a circuit breaker.
"Kabir says, in the journey of life, we encounter numerous teachers who impart knowledge and wisdom. However, the term ‘Guru’ holds a profound significance that transcends the conventional understanding of a teacher. A Guru is not merely an educator but a mentor, guide, and philosopher who illuminates the path of life with the light of his wisdom.
The Guru is a gateway to Liberation, a link between the individual and the Immortal. He stands upon the threshold of immortality; and bending down, he raises the struggling individuals with his one hand, and with the other lifts them up into the empyrean of everlasting joy and infinite Truth-Consciousness.
The Guru helps remove the layers of ignorance covering your true essence in turn helping us on our journey of Self Realisation. The Guru can only take you to the doorway of Self Realization removing all the obstacles that hinder your progress. However your human “freewill” demands that you take the final step alone."
