Brahma created the material world. The Guru is called Brahma because he creates suddha-bhakti in the hearts of his disciples.
Visnu nourishes the entire Universe. The Guru is called Visnu because he sustains and protects his disciples with suddha-bhakti.
Siva destroys the entire material world. The Guru is called Mahesvara because he destroys all the anarthas in the hearts of his disciples.
Guru: “gu” means darkness, “ru” means light. The Guru is the one who eliminates the darkness from the hearts of his disciples and bestows the light of knowledge about God.
God is Love and Love is God.
The essence of our life is Love. When we hear “I love you” our heart dances. Everyone wants Love.
God is in everyone’s heart, to see Him you need to follow a process, e.g. of the ghee hidden inside the milk.
