What is the Guru? It is told by a verse. Which is as follows: -

Agyan timiraandhashch gyananjan shalakya, chakshunmeetim tasmai shri guroo nam:

In a verse for equality between the Guru and the deity, it has been said that the need of devotion is for the deity as it is for the guru as well. Rather it is possible to interview God with the grace of Sadhguru. Nothing is possible in the absence of the Guru's grace.

Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara |
Guru Sakshat Param Brahma, Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah Guru is Brahma ||

Guru is Vishnu, Guru is Lord Maheshwara. Guru is verily the supreme reality. Sublime prostrations to Him.
