Hinduism - The Glory of the Guru By CD Mohatta At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

In Hinduism we do not call any teacher a Guru. We do not call preachers as Guru. We do not call mendicants and those who perform the rituals as Guru. Guru is supreme God according to the truth revealed by Hinduism thousands of years ago.

A Guru is God in all the senses. We believe that God comes in human form as guru to give salvation to his disciples. The definite text on Guru is Guru Geeta, which sings Guru's glory.

Guru is all around the world. He make look confined in a body but that is only the way he communicates himself. Otherwise he creates the world within himself and destroys it. He gives the results to all of us according to our karma. He shows us the path by which we attain our Godhood. According to Hinduism, every soul is God and by removing the outer layers of ignorance Guru reveals to us our true form.

Guru is all-powerful. Guru creates, sustains and destroys. If one maintains a good life then after certain births one gets a Guru. Not everybody can reach a Guru. I have tried to persuade few people to go to Guru but somehow they never went. I asked this question to my Gurudeva and he told me that not everyone is destined for that

Guru term is used very loosely in the western society and true seekers get confused because of this. My advice to anyone who is looking for a Guru is to pray to God. God will surely one day make that person meet his/her Guru and that day their salvation will begin.

Gurudev, you are the whole cosmos. You are time. You are distance. You are space. You create this cosmos as a game and you destroy it. Your acts are mysterious. We can never understand what you do and how? Gurudeva, you are the world and everything inside and outside the world.

You are birds. You are the sky. You are the fishes in the ocean. You are the insects. You are the soil. You are the wild animals. You are the forest. You are human beings. You are the feelings. You are the doer and you are the result

You are every living thing in this world. You are every body in the cosmos. The black holes and the pulsars are nothing but you. You are the gravity. You are gases. You are all liquids. You are precious stones. You are the metals. You are the stones. You are the volcanoes. You are the rivers. You are the mountains. You are the snow. You are the water. You give us life and you take it away from us.

Gurudev, there is nothing in this cosmos that is outside of you. Everything old and new is only you. The latest bombs are you and the flowers are you. The leaves are you. You create this world in zero time and you make it so well that there is nothing left to improve upon that. You control all the gods. You produce all the demons. You kill the demons when you will. Indeed your ways are mysterious.

You always exist. You exist everywhere. You are the power. You are the knowledge. I bow to you. You are the good and you are the bad. You are heaven and you are the hell. You are everything, but everything is not you. Everything is in you. I cannot imagine the glory of Guru and have no words to praise you. We spend centuries to try and understand how you do all this. A very small ant that is barely visible can walk and eat. That is indeed wonderful. Can a man ever do all this? Only those with ego can deny that it is you who do all this.

Most of all you will find that those who are true Gurus avoid mentioning this whereas those who are ordinary beings call them selves as Gurus. It is very difficult to explain about what happens after you meet a guru. The changes will tell you that something totally different is happening to you. You will then understand the glory of Guru.
