'Gu' means 'darkness' and 'ru' means 'destroyer'. So Guru means the one who removes you from darkness.
So many times in our lives, we feel that we are stuck in this world and are drowning in the problems. We feel that our life is filled with darkness.
Gurudev so beautifully says that darkness has no existence, it is merely absence of light. The movement light comes, darkness goes away. Similarly, presence of a Guru brings so much light in our lives, all the darkness simply vanishes away.
It is just till we are facing opposite of light that we see the shadow, the movement we turn around and face the master, the shadow simply vanishes.
On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima, I feel immense gratitude to be chosen on this beautiful path by my ever so loving master.
Thank You Gurudev for giving us this beautiful life.

Kabir Das Ji beautifully said "सब धरती कागज करूँ, लेखनी सब बनरायसात समुंदर की मसि करूँ, गुरुगुण लिखा न जाय". Meaning: Even if the whole earth is transformed into paper with all the big trees made into pens and if the entire water in the seven oceans are transformed into writing ink, even then the glories of the Guru cannot be written. So much is the greatness of the Guru.
On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima, I feel immense gratitude to be chosen on this beautiful path by my ever so loving master.
