He shows you the right divine path. Guru is the Moksha-dvara (door to liberation). Worship the Guru with the flowers of faith and devotion. Satsanga with the Guru is the first pillar in the temple of Self-realisation. Grace of God takes the form of Guru. To see the Guru is to see God.- Swami Sivananda
