In years of history learning has never been so easy. But learning from the right source and person has never been so difficult. With so much scattered and free content available it takes lots of research to reach to the right Guru. Someone who is genuinely interested in your upliftment.
Guru - ‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means light. Anyone who guides you from the path of darkness to light is a guru. It can be related to any field and doesn’t have to be necessarily an elderly person with white hair. It could even be a child who sometimes helps you shift perspective.
Being stuck with wrong guru can harm you in many ways. It can waste your time, energy and the most important set foot in the other direction away from progress.For your intention to take shape, you need a guru to achieve higher level of wisdom. Have a clear intention and right energy will come to facilitate that transition. One may have to replace an existing Guru with a new one to move to the next level. You will then have to identify your next guru to get yourself to the next level. Energies will align but the person might keep changing
You can find your guru in many forms like a mentor, colleague, friends, coach, professors, family or acquaintances. Can one do without a guru? If you’re answer is yes, I want you to rethink.
There is always a reason why incidences and people happen. Nothing is a coincidence. Your Guru will always come to push you to a higher level or get you out of a problem. No matter how hard you try you might not succeed in keeping them in your life after a certain point. Because that person can only take you up to a certain level and after that there needs to be another guru needed to take you ahead in your journey.
Here’s how you can distinguish between a real or reel guru:-
1. See if what they teach is what they apply in their own personal life or just a advice they are trying to experiment on you
2. See if their actions match what they say. Even the smallest things will help you notice this.
Take time to figure out the real guru from the reel one. It will save you from lot of random advice's beforehand. So make sure you are always alert, for all you know the next person you meet might be your guru!
