The guru or master
Who is the Guru or the teacher? It is necessary that you need a guru or a master to take you? What is the most spectacular aspect of the Guru? These questions are repeatedly asked by millions of people around the world every day, without being duly responded with a satisfactory answer to their questions more curious.
In the system of Western thought, the guru or master is a person whoParties to provide information to students on a topic in a pleasant environment, as a class or a similar atmosphere, where students and teachers interact with each other Regarding the object figure ITS material aspect alone. All schools in the West, colleges, universities and schools all engage in this kind of model, and finally, students are well equipped with the right kind of information available worldwide on special topicsand outside the arena of brilliantly successful presentation and practice of these subjects in similar environments, in which the beneficiaries are usually those who have ulterior motives other than those circumstances line up available. Even scientists and leading figures in nature, as innovative and new ideas, research, discoveries, inventions, etc. may be no exception in this case. Strong sense and spirit of pragmatism andthe opportunity to highlight their judgments as objective and impartial nature and the universe.
I am proud and profess to the world that their evaluation is more objective and balanced men and the like. Thus, a teacher or a guru of the West may be more appropriate for this world of duality with the apparent multiplicity and variety. Is best suited for the material universe. But on the other hand, masters or gurus of the East are more often described as marginal andmysticism, of course, for this company, with at least pragmatic, always in their inner world, imagining the future generations after generations who may not normally glow even vaguely scientific temper. The Guru is the knowledge imparted to his disciples who became a preview of them and then the real perception of themselves and the nature and, in turn, this definitive collection and gradually evolves into wisdom, which becomes a turn around examination of life and impendingslot in pure consciousness and awareness that is nothing but consciousness.
So the commander of the West helps humanity to attain an understanding of some aspects of nature with particular attention to the physical structure, the master of the East contributes to the attainment of pure awareness its internal structure, elevate humanity in the universal consciousness. In the East, education, especially as it was practiced in ancient India in the Gurukula system or toMasters House, the teaching process was anything else, even in its more physical level. The teacher taught students or disciples concerning certain rituals and ceremonial rituals at home. The disciples used to stay at the master's house for years as if they were family members of the latter. They were so absorbed in family life of the master and was therefore able to be fully involved in the lives of his students. ThisTransfer of life itself took place in the education system in India once powerful and there are many examples of dominating the relationship most enviable and coveted – disciple.
Thus we see that the real guru or master is not a regular instructor or a coach, which gives some knowledge in some universities or institutions. The master is a true teacher, guide, mentor, leader, a torchbearer, shedding rays of light and hope in the darkest momentspaths of students in their quest for self-realization. How many modern masters can claim to be the true masters or gurus based on the powers above? And 'in all schools, or east or west of true initiation is now? Students become disciples honest in front of their masters? The answer is no. Today, through the promotion of rapid and amazing hardware and the comfort of true initiation can not becommunicated. Both teachers and students are to blame for this. The exemption has become so global that education is seen as a mere means to achieve material wealth and pleasures.
Guru importance in the development of physical and mental structure of spiritual disciple is so great that the so-called teachers simply can not reach this level by simply sharing information. There is a beautiful Hindu scriptures called the Guru Gita with 216verse written by the sage Veda Vyasa. This is a big part of the Skanda Purana. He describes a conversation between Lord Shiva and Parvathi Matha, his wife. In this Shiva Parvathi asked for the Guru. Shiva responded by describing the principle of Guru, the proper ways to worship the Guru and the methods and advantages of singing Guru Gita.
The Sanskrit word Guru is now accepted by the British, using it as a synonymfor a master. But in reality, the true interpretation of the word guru is something bigger, more serious connotations. The word has two syllables and OJ RU. OJ in Sanskrit means darkness or ignorance, the United Kingdom means the removal or disposal. Thus, the word GURU can be interpreted as someone who can remove or eliminate the darkness of ignorance of the mind and reshape the rays of light and knowledge.
