Why Gurus are held even higher up than God? गुरु को भगवान से भी ऊंचा स्थान क्यों दिया गया है?
गुरु गोबिंद दोऊ खड़े, का के लागूं पाय।
बलिहारी गुरु आपणे, गोबिंद दियो मिलाय॥
In one of his popular couplets (dohe) Kabir wonders, “Both my guru and my god stand before me and I wonder who I should salute first” and answers his question with, “I salute my guru first as he was the one who showed me my god.”’
In the Indian tradition, we find that a guru is held higher up even above the almighty, as he is the one who leads his/her students towards the path of enlightenment. (In Sanskrit, the syllable ‘gu’ means darkness and the syllable ‘ru’ means to drive away).
Sister Pratibha from Kenya will explore the topic more.
