Guru is a doctor
In Sanskrit, from which the word guru comes, guru only means one who is great, and his greatness is in a particular sphere, as there are great people in other spheres: doctors of philosophy, doctors of medicine, and so on. In a very definite sense, a guru is a doctor of the inside. When I say 'the inside', I don't just mean the inside of the body, I mean the inside of the inside! Because if the doctor is the doctor of our body, a capable guru is the doctor of the soul.
