Acharya Prashant clarifies that a Guru is never a person, and therefore, the debate over whether a Guru must be a human, an object, or a scripture is irrelevant. He emphasizes that if one perceives the Guru as a person, they have fundamentally misunderstood the concept. Referring to Kabir Saheb, he notes that those who consider the Guru to be a mere human are blind to the truth. The Guru is a manifestation of a single light that reaches an individual in various forms, but if one remains focused on the form—whether human or book—they see nothing at all. The true Guru is one in whose presence an individual forgets their own identity as a person or a body. The Guru is not a physical body, a speaking mouth, the accumulated knowledge of a mind, or any specific shape, color, or name. Acharya Prashant explains that the significance of a Guru lies in their ability to remind the seeker of something beyond the physical realm. Even if the Guru sits before you in a physical body, their essence belongs to the transcendental. They act as a pointer, inviting the seeker to reach the source from which the Guru originates. The Guru does not exist to draw people to themselves, but to lead them to the ultimate source. It is the Guru's presence and the 'coolness' they bring from another realm that provides peace, rather than just their words or physical form. He concludes that since the Guru's message is to realize that you are not a body or a person, it is contradictory to obsess over whether the Guru themselves is a person or an object.
