Does it mean Guru is teaching and guiding even when not present? (Question asked by madhumita - see comments)
Yes. Definately. Guru is not physically present always to guide you. Yet, he guides you even in his absence.
The way he guides depends on the level of his student.
1. A student who seeks an answer or a way, mentally talks to his Guru, pleads him to guide him or prays to him. This is a very average student (in terms of spiritual growth) and to this student Guru gives his answer through the medium student is surrounded with. For eg., through a TV programme, book,an Ad., etc.
2. When a student grows a little in his path (spiritually) he seeks an answer and he hears the answer or intuitively feels the answer. At this stage, he has to an extent let his Guru enter his mind. This he does by regularly thinking about his words, reads his words, discusses them and sees his Guru's words resonating in everything that he reads, sees, listens.
The flip side is, people imagine or hallucinate an answer which they themselves want to hear and then say they got a 'message' which is very dangerous because in such of cases their emotions (which is many times wrongly placed) is controlling their life and no doubt the result of such actions and following such 'message' can only give a painful results.
