Gurus are enlightened people. They have already gone through the process, have realized the effects and benefits of the process, and have applied that wisdom, knowledge and understanding in their own relationships, interactions, character and behaviour. They have attained the state of peace, equilibrium and harmony and awakened their consciousness. Most people live their karma and not their dharma, but gurus live their dharma and not their karma. Disciples live their karmas while the guru lives dharma, and it is dharma which inspires the disciple to manage karmas. These luminous, enlightened beings found a balance between their karma and dharma, and integrated them. After integrating the two aspects, they were equally at ease in material life and spiritual life, and became the first yogis. If one is aware of one’s dharma in day-to-day interactions, improvement in material life will happen. The awareness has to be cultivated of how to express one’s dharma towards oneself, the family, society and towards the human civilization while living a normal life.
