To Learn any skill we need
a Experienced Coach who can train us /guide us properly. No one has learnt
swimming by just jumping in the swimming
pool and beating about randomly. All those who have learnt swimming
have gone thru a proper coach who has patiently and individually taught them... Similarly to manage the complex being whom we are and the complicated world we live in, a Guide/Coach is required...
All Human beings have 7 layers of existence , they are Body, Breath , Mind , Intellect, Memory, Ego and Soul . Most confusion and misery in this world is because we have not been
to taught to manage these layers of existence in a Proper or Efficient manner. We go to school and study all about Aurangzeb,
British Rule in India, about the Sun and the Moon but no one teaches us to
Manage our mind, emotions and memory.
Many of our Health Issues, Relationship Issues, Career problems are due to a Lack of Understanding of the principles on which our Bodies , Minds and Emotions work.
The Sages of Ancient India had
deep knowledge about the 7 layers of Existence and they have developed many simple and
effective techniques to alleviate Human Suffering and harness Human Potential to the Maximum. But as ages pass most of the Knowledge gets corrupted or forgotten. Many Gurus come in Every ages to Popularize the Knowledge and give
a Fresh Direction and Hope to Suffering Humanity.
'Guru' is a Sanskrit word which comes from union of 2 words Gu Stands for Darkness and Ru Stands for remover, so The Guru is the Remover of Darkness, the Darkness of Ignorance by giving us Knowledge. To Manage Layers of our self in the optimal manner which gives maximum welfare to us and others we need the Guidance of the Guru.
