Role of Guru

The word ‘teacher’ cannot denote these high roles; it can mean only those, who transmit information, and train in skills. I direct that Bal Vikas teachers should hereafter be known by the vastly more appropriate name of Guru, so that you may be conscious always of the spiritual role which you have taken on, and its responsibilities and value. You are the lamps from which their tender hearts must receive light and love. By your adherence to truth, righteousness, peace and love, you have to inspire these qualities in the children that come to you and the homes from where they come.”

- Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Fifth All India Conference,
January 1974

Teacher of Truth

“I am neither man, nor God, nor a celestial spirit; I am neither a Brahmin (scholar), nor a Kshathriya (warrior), nor a Vaishya (merchant), nor a Sudra (laborer); I cannot be described as a brahmachari (celibate), or a householder, or a recluse, or a monk; Know me as the Teacher of Truth (Sathya Bodhaka)—as Sathyam (Truth), Shivam (Goodness), and Sundaram (Beauty)."

- Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Mahashivaratri, March 6, 1970

The purpose of this newsletter is to help all SSSE gurus walk this “royal road that leads to self-realization.” (March 6, 1970.) Teaching His children is a mammoth task. While we play the role of Guru, Swami reminds us that He is the Guru for each of us. Enjoy exploring these editions—they can serve as study circle material for gurus.
