'Guru is understood to be the awakener of the dormant spirit of the aspirant to the consciousness of the immortal Self or God. Guru is the guide and the leader. What does the Guru say to the soul in tribulation?
Swami Ramdas
He exhorts: “Go within yourself and behold therein the splendour and glory of the eternal Truth. Therein resides your ultimate home of perfect release, happiness and peace. Therein find the life that never fades, that never changes, but ever blesses and sanctifies.
Be in tune with that Reality, if you sincerely crave for the highest consummation of life.”
It is thus the Guru awakens you, and thereafter you are always awake. This is the real concept of a Guru.'
[Swami Ramdas]
