Re: Benefits of Having A Guru?
Dear Spirit seeker,
I think you should be clear about the concept of guru.Guru is not always a mere teacher in sanatana dharma. What you have mentioned is probably about teacher who teach indirect knowledge,the theoretical one,philosophy.This you can learn from multiple spiritual teacher as much your cravings is not fulfilled.
But the GURU meant in sanatan dharma is satguru who is self-realized who has seen the truth and become one with it and was chosen one by truth itself to distribute this nectar of truth to deserving disciples.They give DIRECT knowledge,not theoretical.
Finding such guru is equivalent to finding truth as both are synonymous.To find him,only way is purity, prayer and penance.
when truth will chose you,it will send such guru to you.
Jayaguru
Man-naathah Shri Jagan-nathah Mat-guru-shri jagad-guruhu.
Mad-atma sarva-bhutatma tasmai Shri Gurave Namah.
My Lord is the Lord of Universe; My teacher is the teacher of the
entire universe; and my Self is the Self of all. My salutations at the lotus-feet
of such a Guru, who has revealed such knowledge to me.
