"Teacher and Guru"
I know that a Teacher is different from a Guru, but never knew that they are different in so many ways.
I know "All Gurus are Teachers; But all teachers are not Gurus".
If you get not only a Guru but also a "Satguru", you are the most blessed one.
If you get not only a Guru but also a "Satguru", you are the most blessed one.
