Abstract

In the hallowed traditions of Sanatana Dharma, the guru is accorded the most exalted position. It is said that the invisible and formless Brahman assumes name and visible form to inspire devotion among seekers of truth.

This is why it is said that it is the guru who finds the seeker and not the other way around.
