Acharya Prashant explains that the grace of a Guru is essential for God or truth realization, as asserted in the opening lines of the Guru Granth Sahib. He defines a Guru as one who can practically display a person's falseness and bondages while kindling the love and courage needed for freedom. The true mark of a Guru is not a title or knowledge, but the ability to bring about a practical shift in consciousness toward freedom. While the Guru Granth Sahib is the immortal Guru for Sikhs, and one can theoretically learn from nature if one is exceptionally ripe, Acharya Prashant advises that most people should seek a living, contemporary human teacher for practical guidance. Regarding the 'will of God' or 'Hukum', Acharya Prashant clarifies that God, being absolute freedom, does not impose a specific will or interfere in human affairs. Instead, the Divine Will is that a human's free will must remain truly free and not be used to choose bondage. God has already provided humans with all necessary faculties—love, discernment, intellect, and understanding—and does not hold anything back. Therefore, it is the individual's responsibility to use these gifts to reject falsehood. While a saint considers freedom as a command (Hukum) that cannot be violated, the common man often suffers by choosing bondage, standing in insubordination to the divine gift of freedom.
