A real Guru not only points the direction to the goal but takes the consciousness of the surrendered disciple into his consciousness and makes the inflow of the Higher into the lower continuously, till the three consciousness of the Isvara, the Guru and the Atman of the disciple become one undifferentiated whole. (Extract from the preface of Prabodhasudhakara published by Samata Books.)Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says about true guru like this "He alone is the true teacher who is illumined by the light of true knowledge."It is very hard to find a true and real Guru in the modern day so be careful.Any person or incident that removes darkness and fills with light is a Guru.
