Satgurus do not exhibit any miracles or Siddhis. Possession of Siddhis is not the test to declare the greatness of a sage or to prove he has attained Self-realisation. He is identical with Brahman or the Supreme Self. A Jivanmukta or a liberated sage is the real Guru or spiritual preceptor. ![]() One who has studied the Vedas and who has direct knowledge of Atman through Anubhava can only be enrolled as a Guru. ![]() Mere study of books cannot make one a Guru. He stands, as it were, upon the threshold of immortality and bending down, he raises the struggling individuals with his one hand, and with the other lifts them up into the empyrean of everlasting joy and infinite Truth-Consciousness. He is a being who has raised himself from this into That, and thus has a free and unhampered access to both the realms. The Guru is verily a link between the individual and the Immortal. The Guru is God Himself manifesting in a personal form to guide the aspirant. Prostrations to that Guru who, by the collyrium-rod of Knowledge, opens the eyes of those who are rendered blind by the darkness of ignorance (Guru Gita).

We have great pleasure in releasing this book for the benefit of spiritually thirsty men and women all over the world. Within its pages, the reader will find an authoritative, succinct and bold elucidation of the entire subject of Guru-disciple relationship. Under the circumstances, the present book by Satguru Sivanandaji Maharaj should come as a boon to many. Is a Guru absolutely necessary? Who is a Satguru? How far can he help his Chela (disciple)? What are the duties of a disciple? What is the meaning of Initiation? Want of clear-cut and definite answers to these and related questions often impedes the spiritual progress of earnest aspirants. In spite of much that has been written on the concept of a spiritual Guru, there is still a good deal of confusion, misunderstanding, and skepticism in the public mind on this vital matter.
