Getting to Know the Yogi (one who has reached a high level of spiritual insight)
The world is filled with so many types of “gurus” nowadays. They’re so common that almost everyone on youtube is at least a guru of some sort.
Gurus come in many shapes and size like;
- Beauty gurus
- Fitness gurus
- Marketing gurus
- Spiritual gurus
Even this cat is guru…you get what I mean haha.
This term is being attached to all sorts of people who have some level of expertise in one area.
But this word originates from the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit and has a much deeper meaning.
Guru (Sanskrit: गुरु) from gu (darkness), and ru (light) — means someone who has deep knowledge and wisdom in an area and can guide others, can lift others out of darkness i.e. ignorance.
