According to me the best and true Guru is one is walks with you always.Because the person who walks with you will guide you if you do any mistake or will solve your problem if you are in any problem.While the one who tells you to walk with him will not tell u anything except to walk wherever he goes.And this is of no use.And may be there is a possibility that he takes you to the wrong road.

Well Sasmita The one who walks with me can become the best guru, as that stage is secondary and becoming guru is ultimate. The first stage is the one who follows. For becoming guru, he has to go to the second step. We cannot choose our Guru. Rather Guru Chooses us. Hence no answer for this question. When Guru searches us and takes us as His disciple, we will follow Him on every path. Sometimes He may lead us, sometimes He will be with us and sometimes He may observe us from distance. No questions regarding Guru's behaviour. He is doing His best to make us realize God.
Thank You.

A GURU is one who is always with you.In appearance, in imagination or in thoughts the Guru always guides you.The instant you side step there is always the Guru to caution you. Of course following the Guru is a good trait but the walking side by side while making all the reminiscences and pondering over the various situations He guides you while he is leading you. In the process you can learn more while you are attaining a certain goal.

the one who walks with me. because he would understand me better and he would be the one who cares a lot. he would be like a friend. that should be the qualities of a real guru.

In my opinion, neither of the two. A good GURU is the one who shows us the correct path to reach our goal and gives us proper guidance on how to achieve it. If necessary, he will walk a few steps with us and then slowly, as we gain confidence in our own ability, leave us to move ahead on our own. Of course a good GURU will always be there when we need him.

The problem in today's world is, we slowly start making GURU as our goal and forget our real goal. A GURU is just a means or a guide to help us achieve our goal.

A good Guru will always will make others to follow him. A best Guru will always have a simple life,dedicating him self to the cause for which he sticks basically.His way of life will be an example to others,so that others too follow him in right path.Those,he finds deviating from the true path are adviced,to follow the right path.He throws light in the mind of his followers what is right and what is wrong,with reasons for the right and wrong.
Thus the best guru leads his followers through the right path.

The best Guru would be the one who walks with you. Because, there is a proverb “Example is better than precept.”
Today, there are lot preacher who would preach you the good things but when practical aspects come, they do the opposite.

I would follow him as Guru who would guide me through either walking along with me or guiding me, not the one who would follow me. a Guru is one who is indifferent to all and also free from the materialistic world and its temptation. He is a wise man at the same time. Hence there is no point that I follow that peson as my Guru who leads me in any form.

Guru is the Self. Take Guru to be the real Self and your self as the individual self. The disappearance of this sense of duality is the removal of ignorance. So long as duality persists in you the Guru is necessary. Because you identify yourself with the body you think that the Guru is also a body.You are not the body, nor is the Guru.
You are the Self and so is the Guru. This knowledge is gained by what you call Self-realization.Guru is the person who guides you to go into light from dark,he never demands to follow him,he only walks along with u.
