                                        Role of a Guru







                        Hari om !



                        Guru word basically means ‘One who imparts Knowledge’. Blessed

                        with the association of a Guru the student becomes equipped with

                        better & valid insight into the ways of the world & the truth of
                        our Self. Such a student thereafter lives his or her life fully and

                        nicely. The role of a Guru is not to bring about results, which is

                        the domain of Karma. What most of the people want is some spe-

                        cial Karma-Phala - some special results & achievements. They are
                        desperate for that, and whosoever assures results they will tend

                        to follow them. Result-oriented endeavors are not the real domain

                        of an adhyatmic teacher, even though our Guru’s reveal to us all

                        the aspects of Karma, its Karta, and its good or bad consequences,
                        however, the focus is more on the whole science rather than its

                        execution & its subsequent results.




                        Just  as  Science  &  Technology  are  two  different  &  specialized
                        fields, so also are Gyana & Karma. Scientists are very objective

                        & analytical and they do not bother about the technology part, of

                        how to use the facts. In fact, I have met people who consider it a
    Vedanta Sandesh
                        distraction in their objective studies & analysis. So also is Gyana
