42 The Guru and the Disciple
are contained within , which hurts only him . Raudradhyan - adverse internal contemplation due to kashaya within that spill over and hurts him as well as others ). Unless a person has these qualifications , it is a mistake laden with liability ( guno ) to call one a guru . You can call him a ‘ sadhu maharaj ,’ ( sadhu - a monk . Maharaj - master ) you can call him a ‘ tyagi ’ ( someone who has renounced the worldly life ), but to call him a guru is a mistake laden with liability . Otherwise , if you want to understand the word guru from the worldly perspective , then you can even call a lawyer , a guru ; from the worldly perspective , everyone is a guru !
Any guru that can bring us into dharmadhyan ( absence of artadhyan and raudradhyan ) can be called a guru . Who is capable of making others attain dharmadhyan ? It is someone who can stop people from having artadhyan and raudradhyan ; he can make people do dharmadhyan . If a guru does not have any raudradhyan when someone insults him , then you should know that he is worthy of being your guru . If , today , he does not get any food but he does not have any artadhyan , then know he is worthy of being your guru .
Questioner : If he does not have artadhyan and raudradhyan , then is he not a satguru ?
Dadashri : A satguru is someone who is a representative of the Lord , the fully enlightened One . If he is liberated , then he is a satguru . The guru has yet to discharge all kinds of karmas and the satguru has already discharged many of his karmas . So the one who does not have artadhyan and raudradhyan is a guru and the one who gives you moksha in your hand is a satguru . It is difficult to find a satguru , but if you find a guru , that is also very good .
Ultimate Salvation at the Feet of the Satguru
Questioner : Then should we take shelter from a guru or a satguru ?
