A wise guru does not become a deity for anyone. Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvar are for one's own personal devotion.

This couplet beautifully explains the profound importance of a true, enlightened spiritual teacher, or 'Gnani Guru'. It tells us that such a wise guru isn't just an ordinary person; they don't become just anyone's guide. For a dedicated student, a true guru embodies the divine trinity: Brahma, the creator; Vishnu, the preserver; and Mahesh, the destroyer of ignorance. This means the guru is seen as the ultimate source of spiritual knowledge, the protector of the path, and the one who helps eradicate spiritual darkness within us. It highlights the immense reverence and unique position a true guru holds in a seeker's life, guiding them towards ultimate truth.
