WHO CAN BE A TRUE GURU?
A person, in whom resides the "Word of God" - the eternal knowledge of God; who is one with God; who knows what is the Will of God; who is not affected of sorrow, happiness, praise, insult, fear, threat; who loves all equally irrespective of friends, foes, relatives, young, old, rich, poor etc, is a true Guru. It is not his body in flesh and bones that is Guru, instead, it is the knowledge of God. "Word of God" which resides in him is the Guru. For Sikhs "Word of God" resided in the ten human Gurus. After the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, in his own words, the 'Word of God' resides in Gurbani, The holy scriptures called " Guru Granth Sahib." And now for Sikhs all over the world, the present and everlasting Guru is "Guru Granth Sahib" (The Holy Book). By the Grace of the Guru, man lives a purposeful life and attains the values and virtues as that of God, and then amalgamates with the Supreme.
