Life is a mystery. The cosmos is a mystery. What are its boundaries? If it's an expanding universe, where it is expanding? What is behind it. Some stars are millions of light years away from us. What an unimaginable distance! What's in the cosmos? Who did it? When you form? What was there before it was formed?
Who are we? I am a body with a name? So as some people have luck and some bad? Why do some children get cancer at a very young age and some people with all the bad habits of living a healthy life for a long period of time? What we intended to do on this earth. Where we come from and where we go?
Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why some people love and hate a little '? What is that which satisfies us? What is the goal of human life? There are so many questions in our minds. Every religion has its theory and its explanation. In India, it is believed that Guru is the only one who can answer all these questions.
Who is the Guru? According to Indian scriptures, the Guru is God in the human body. He comes to earth to free followers. A Guru is not to be confused with people who write well or speak well Indian mythology and philosophy. They can be called as people learned good or good speakers or writers of books. But none of them is the guru.
The west has always been attracted to Hinduism. Many branches of Hinduism including Yoga is becoming very popular in the West. Many trips to India, west to lecture on Hinduism and scriptures of India, and many people call them as Guru. This is the misuse of the word Guru. Guru is very mysterious.
How to know that someone is Guru? After coming in contact with the Guru, you must feel a change that is life altering. Change is not something like that - I feel good, or I feel comfortable. But Guru brings about changes that can never be explained to you for others. If at any time, you meet Guru, we know from these changes, and then in a period of time, the Guru will reveal his identity to you. This depends on his will.
No one should take every saint in India as a Guru. There are very few in the world. According to Indian scriptures, only if you have collected a lot of good karma, you get Guru. I can only make a statement. Experience the power of Guru is very different from anything else. And in principle, the experience can be very painful and not pleasant. But in the end is pure bliss.
