There are four letters in the word Guru. Which are like four pilgrimage, four anuyoga, four perseverance, four mangal, uttam & sharan. Those four letters are G. U, R and U. “G” means dignified or good conducted. ‘U’ means udaar (generous), ‘ means rahasyodghataka (revelatory) (one who understands and explains the essense of religion) or (one who delights in the soul). ‘U’ means unnatisheel (progressive) udyamsheel (enterpreneur) or udaaseen (indifferent) (detached from world, body and enjoyments). In the other words Guru means one who is heavy in qualities or one who manifests the qualities of the soul, or “Gu” means darkness and ‘ru’ means one who is destroyer of falsehood, ignorance and unrestraint (abandon). He is a Guru. Only after getting such a Guru, a true life starts on the path of welfare.
