How To Identify Your Guru?
In this whole Vedanta Sampradaya, the only requirement is a proper Guru.
Beautifully Vedanta sampradaya describes how to catch the right Guru.
Peel away all the things which are common to all the Gurus.
For example, if I have an organization, somebody else is also having an organization. There are so many spiritual organizations. Remove that part from my glory. If I have a body, then many of you also have a body. Remove that part from my glory. If I have an amazing orating power, many others also have that. Remove that part from my glory.
So go on peeling. Finally, at some point, your logic will not be able to peel further, but still you will feel - He is something more than all these things!
When your logic feels - I cannot peel further, I have peeled everything; even after all these things are removed, he has something more than all these things put together - when you have this understanding with somebody, he is your Guru.
If that does not happen, if you feel - No, after I peel three or four things he is not worthy - then forget about him. He is not worthy of being your Guru. You are not worthy of being his disciple.
