We often call Teachers or Kathavachaks or Astologers as Guru but Guru is much more than these. There is need understand who is an actual "Guru".
Guru is one who tells us to connect with the supreme power & He tells us to practise detachment in our daily lives. He is the one who is on a different level of consciousness than ours.
In Bhagavad Gita Shri Krishna the Jagatguru & Parameshwar tells Arjuna that acting with detachment means doing the right thing, for its own sake, because it needs to be done, without worrying about success or failure.
Shri Krishna tells Arjun how to act with maximum grace while under maximum pressure. He persuades that we merely perform roles which destiny demands of us. Karma has to be done keeping in mind the values & ethics.
We need to move on the ethical path irrespective of our own likes, dislikes relations, attachments, inclinations, selfish gain or loss.
Guru tells us about "Sannmarg" the ethical path & "Satkarma" the correct deeds.
Its we who shape our desitiny through karma.
Right is right & wrong is wrong..no if sor buts. For achieving the "Dharma Sanmat Lakshya" or our "ethical aim" for the welfare of society, nothing has to be omitted or avoided. Act consciously and righteously. Correctness of action will be judged by time not humans. As humans we have power to manipulate our atmosphere a little but we can't change what's destined.
Do things keeping in mind, the larger perspective of life- The society, the generations that will come after us and the mother nature.
Aadhyatma or Dharma is not bookish knowledge that can be attained in institutes. Life is itself a teacher. We resolve daily problems/ situations and life gives us lessons, until we learn & grow spiritually.
Guru is one who tells that knowledge is internal aspect of life not external. Guru is one who helps us in qualitative growth not quantitative growth, specially in terms of learning.
Our soul always knows, what has to be done. Its just, we who are unable to silence the external noise & hear the conscious.
Guru helps to Grow from inside out.
He tells us, how to CONNECT with one and only almighty and while performing all the duties DETACH ourselves from the outcomes. Being humans, we all have emotions but an almost perfect human-being is one who has been able to attain balance between worldly & spirituals aspects of life.
Detachment is not all about taking "Sanyaas" but while performing duties, knowing that results or probabilities should not have an impact on one's actions, decisions or outlook towards life.
हमारी "आत्मा" जो कि परमात्मा का ही अंश है..परमात्मा की अनुकम्पा से हमारे जन्मजन्मांतर की साथी है, अगर वो हमारा मार्गदर्शन करनेवाला गुरु बन पाये, तो फिर इस जीवन को हम सार्थक पायेंगे!
