Acharya Prashant explains that when the formless Divine, Govind, manifests in a physical form, He is known as the Guru. He clarifies that Kabir Saheb’s teachings do not imply a hierarchy between the two, as they are essentially one. The Guru is necessary because humans identify with the physical world and cannot perceive the formless. To help humanity, the Divine must descend to the human level, appearing in a physical body and acting within the constraints of time and space. Acharya Prashant uses the example of Shri Ram, who, despite being an incarnation of Shri Vishnu, exhibited human emotions and limitations to fulfill His role on Earth. He points out that people often disrespect the Guru because they see their own human flaws reflected in Him, failing to recognize the immense compassion required for the Divine to limit itself for their sake. He compares the Guru to a ladder lowered from a helicopter to save a drowning person; rejecting the ladder while claiming to want the pilot is foolish. Similarly, the Guru’s instructions, discipline, and methods are extensions of the Divine's grace. One must not use spiritual truths like 'God is everywhere' as an excuse to ignore the practical necessity of the Guru and the distinction between right and wrong in their current state as a living being.
