This article explains various types of Gurus, their method of teaching and achieving spiritual progress of disciples.

A Guru takes care of His disciple in any catastrophe while a teacher has hardly any concern about a student’s personal life.

The superior disciple is a seeker who inspite of being trapped in unhappiness in the state of the embodied soul is convinced that “I am not the embodied soul but am really The Supreme God (Shiv)” through the study of the scriptures.

Today ‘Guru, Sadguru and Paratpar Guru’ are used as synonyms; however, there is a marked difference between them in the spiritual context. Let us see how.

Gurumantra does not contain mere letters, but has spiritual knowledge, Chaitanya and Guru’s blessings. Hence, spiritual progress is faster.

An ideal Guru is the one, who if the need arises, even forces the disciple to act in a particular manner, if he is inattentive or misbehaving.

A disciple is one who practises Spirituality as advised by the Guru, with the motive of making spiritual progress.
