2. Gurus have extraordinary powers. They can transform people through their teachings, and sometimes with a mere glance or touch.

3. Gurus play a vital role in the continuation of Hindu tradition. They uphold its tenets and act as its protectors and spokesmen.

4. An enlightened guru is God in human form. He has the permission from God to speak and act on His behalf. He has no ego because his ego is filled with the presence of God. Serving him is therefore equal to serving God.

5. Gurus have miraculous powers. Because they have emptied themselves, they can easily enter other people’s consciousness and know what is happening there. They can read other people’s minds, travel astrally to remote places and heal the sick and the disabled with their powerful thoughts and vibrations.

6. It is said that a true spiritual master has the ability to neutralize the ill effects of karma, transfer their spiritual energy to others or hasten a disciple's spiritual progress.

7. Gurus often indulge in erratic, outrageous and abnormal behavior to discourage people coming to them. One should never judge them on the basis of their appearance or behavior.
