 Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Athavale : The Visionary of ‘Sanatan Rashtra’

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः। गुरुः साक्षात् परब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः।।

Guru is verily Brahma (Deity of Creation), Guru is Vishnu (Deity of Sustenance), Guru is Maheshwara (Deity of Dissolution) | Guru is the embodiment of Parabrahman (Ultimate God Principle), I pay obeisance to such a Supreme Being ||

The difference between Manifest and Unmanifest Guru

Every seeker in the primary stage has read that in Spirituality, the ultimate means of salvation is a Guru, whereas a seeker in the advanced stage actually experiences it.

Most of us do not know what is a Guru. The aspect of God that looks after spiritual teaching and spiritual growth in the Universe is known as the Guru. This is known as the nirgun (Unseen or unmanifest) Guru or the Teaching Principle of God.

This nirgun Guru then works completely through some of these evolved individuals who are then known as the sagun (Manifest) Guru or the Guru in the human form.

In other words, a person has to be at least of the 70% spiritual level to qualify as a spiritual guide or a Guru. The Guru in human form acts as a beacon of spiritual knowledge for humanity and is in total alignment with the Universal Mind and Intellect of God. In short, the Guru is the One who dispels the darkness of spiritual ignorance in humanity and bestows upon them spiritual experiences and spiritual knowledge.
