The Guru is a mediator. He brings man and God together even as a matchmaker brings together the lover and the beloved  Sri Ramakrishna  If you are in right earnest to learn the mysteries of God, He will send you the Sadguru, the right teacher. You need not trouble yourself about finding out a Guru  Sri Ramakrishna    The word is the Guru, The Guru is the Word. For all nectar is enshrined in the world Blessed is the word which reveals the Lord's name. But more is the one who knows by the Guru's grace  Guru Nanak    Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru none can cross over to the other shore  Guru Nanak    He who shows the real home in this body is the Guru. He makes the five sounded word reverberate in man  Guru Nanak    Whoever, styling himself as a teacher, lives on the charity of others, never bow before him. He who earns his livelihood by the sweat of his brow and shares it with others, O Nanak only he can know the way  Guru Nanak    He alone is the true teacher who is illumined by the light of true knowledge  Sri Ramakrishna    Who is whose Guru ? God alone is the guide and Guru of the universe  Sri Ramakrishna    The devotee must seek and accept the Guru or spiritual perceptor as his counsellor, philosopher, friend and guide. In short, the Guru is the sine qua non of progress in the path of spirituality  Swami Vivekananda    The Guru is within you - Surrender to him there  Sri RamanaMaharishi    What is a Guru? Guru is god or the self  Sri Ramana Maharishi    Guru, Atma, Iswara - these are only different names for the same thing. The essence of each is the same  Sri Ramana Maharishi    Any one and everyone cannot become a Guru. A huge timber floats on water and can carry animals as well. But a piece of worthless wood sinks, even if a man sits on it, and drowns him. Therefore, in every age God incarnates as the Guru to teach humanity. Satchinanda is the Guru  Sri Ramakrishna
