“I was drowning in the ocean of samsara; fortunately, I found a boatman, a SatGuru. Seeing my plight, He lifted me up from the ocean of birth and death with his hands of instructions on Knowledge into the boat of Brahmajnana.”
SatGuru is an Ocean

‘The Guru is the ocean filled with pearls.’
Guru is God Himself
– Swami Vivekananda
In our country, a teacher is a highly venerated person, he is regarded as God Himself. We do not even have the same respect for our father and mother. Father and mother give us our body, but the teacher shows us the way to salvation.
I shall cross the ocean of birth and death
– Mirabai
Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev, I’ll please.
By doing service to my Gurudev, I shall cross the ocean of birth and death.
I have taken shelter in the SatGuru
I have taken shelter in the SatGuru and have His darshan, destroyed sins and experienced bliss all over.
Having His darshan, I am delighted. I lost all predicaments of the body and mind, and got absorbed in happiness. (1)
As soon as I heard the words of SatGuru, my delusion of differences was dispelled. I entered the home of Atman. (2)
When I had darshan of SatGuru, my account of karmas was settled with Dharmaraj. The pains of birth and death disappeared. (3)
Says Teun, I am very fortunate to find SatGuru, who is compassionate towards the helpless. I fixed my mind on His Lotus-Feet. (4)

Such is the true disciple
– Paramahansa Yogananda
The true disciple obeys the guru implicitly in everything, because the Guru is a man of wisdom and purity.
The company of Guru makes one great
– Sant Pathikji
The world cannot shake the devotee, the worshipper of SatGuru, who is of the nature of jnana. It cannot attract or enchant him, because the sadhaka becomes very great with the company of SatGuru.
