Satguru

In this word the part 'Sat' means 'Eternal', 'Constant', 'Always'. The part ' Guru' stands for 'Inspiration', 'Guidance', 'To lead'. Guru is the one, who always unfailingly leads a person in sorrow due to ignorance, away from the darkness of confusion, to the light of awareness and enlightenment. " Satguru', is that type of ' Guru', who has a constant and unbroken PRESENCE in each one's life. The light of awareness as ' Atman' residing in each one's consciousness is essentially one's ' Satguru'! The world renowned Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi used to point out that, " A Sadhak while getting pushed from outside by the human Guru, the Satguru from inside draws the Sadhak (disciple) inward!" This means, 'One's Being is drawn to the undivided SOURCE'.
