Actual meaning of guru is a teacher in any field of your life. But in spirituality GURU is teacher who can teach about our ultimate good in life to merge in GOD. According to old beliefs, GURU himself should not be involved or surrounded by worldly richness. e.g. Lord Budha did not remain Prince Sidharth when he obtained Nirvana after having left palace. Similarly Lord Rama left his palace for jungle for fourteen years for fighting with demons in jungles to take care of saints being targeted by them. Lord Kabir or Tulsi also fall in the same category as was GURU NANAK who spent even his pocket money for SACHA SAUDA. True Saints/GURUS used to beg their livings restricted to two houses only and opted to remain without food if they did not get anything from such two houses.

Among all above, Lord Rama did not convey anything through any SATSANG or teachings by words but opted to convey everything by demonstrating his life style in human form. That is why Lord Rama is called as MARYADA PURSHOTAM. Similar was the style of GURU NANAK to convey mostly through demonstrating his life style itself, which has more impact on the followers as compared to teachings conveyed in words which are and can be subjected to different interpretations. Contents of GURU's SATSANG should not be interpreted/conveyed by anyone else because communication, in words, travels differently from one intellectual to another, more so when in view of present development in electronic field the SATSANG of a living GURU can be made and is easily available live through media or through CD/DVD.
