GURU

GURU teaches us the art of living a balanced life with restraint and stability of mind. He is the one who dispels the darkness of ignorance and shows you the path of light and eternal bliss. He is the one who brings about awareness that actions (karmas) performed under the influence of senses, give rise to sensuous pleasures and pains, which are transitory and fleeting. He guides you how to discipline and bring under control the five wild horses - 'kaam' (passion), 'krodha' (anger), 'lobh' (greed), 'moh' (emotional attachment) and 'ahankaar' (ego) and helps you to take the chariot of your life in the right direction of inner peace and tranquility. He brings about a realization in you that over-indulgence in sensuous objects give rise to TAMOGUNA and the end result is regret, remorse, sorrow and loss of peace. Like a Divine Father, he holds your little finger and conditions you to fearlessly travel from the illusionary material world, to the realms of spirituality so that you could be one with the Real One and realize the ultimate truth - i.e., God.

Just like Krishna says in Gita, Karama is the key and there is no other choice except to follow your birth journey in this life. If you do the karama you would be rewarded in haven above and if you fail, you committed the bad karama and you are maha papi then the sinner? Guru shows the right path but Guru must first walk on the dharama path by doing good karama so the followers knows the true Guru. Leaving this soul from this body and take the new birth it is just like taking off old clothes before you wear new clothes so living and dead people around do not bother worriors and those who walk on path of Guru.
