guru

guru
sathguru,

way he knows,
he shows


he lives,
tells how to live


he has no doubts,
clears all doubts


He walks, yet is a few millimeters above the earth, untouched earthly


he talks, yet his message is silence
he works, yet he leaves no mark,


he sleeps, 

yet he is awake witnessing his sleep

every thing inert
every being animate

hillock to high hill, 

tiny stream to flooding river

every jeeva from ameoba 

to manava to great baba
are gurus

universe is a mirror to teach you how you are 

and how you can be

Teacher is not to teach
student is to learn each


intelligent learns from the worst
dull gains not from the best


Best teaching is silence
best teacher is silent

gurosthu mouna vyaakhyaanam
shishyath chinna samshayaa
[dakshinamurthi sthothram, adi sankara]
guru's silent commentary cleared shishya's doubts
