Only a Guru can raise one from the level of animal existence. Even gods cannot reveal what is the real purpose of human life. Those who do not have a physical body, those who were never born cannot understand the aim of human life. But a Guru is born as an ordinary human and He attains to totality though His efforts. Hence only He can take a disciple to the highest echelons of human life.

Guru does not merely gives Diksha, rather He purifies the disciple’s blood which is filled with deceit, lies, lust and hatred of several generations. Guru lights a spark that assumes the form of an explosion and destroys all one’s shortcomings. This is the path that leads from death to immortality.

Your parents gave birth to you. It was but a natural process. But the Guru gives a new life to the disciple. He instills into the disciple consciousness. This new life has an aim and it leads to totality.

Evil is born among humans and to balance it the divine land Siddhashram sends forth some highly accomplished Yogis who through their divinity and purity try to bring about spiritual awakening among the people.

A Guru tests a disciple several times before He gives the latter something. Before gold is moulded into a crown it is heated in strong fire time and again to purify it. Then it is beaten into sheets or drawn into wires but the gold does not in the least complain because it has full faith in the goldsmith. And the goldsmith transforms it into a crown that rests on the heads of not mortals but gods and goddesses. A Sadguru too subjects a disciple to the fire of His tests in order to make his mind pure.

Arjun considered that Krishna was an ordinary human being. But when Krishna took him into deep meditation Arjun realised that he was no ordinary man. Similarly a Guru can take any person or disciple into the state of meditation.

Just one among millions is able to catch hold of Sadguru’s fingers and walk with Him. Just a few among millions are able to understand the deeper meanings of His words. Very few among millions are able to go and live with the Guru to learn something from Him. Very few are able to realise that the person before him is not ordinary.
