A guru has an official position, which is accompanied by appropriate duties. They include: (1) taking a personal interest in the disciples' inner welfare and growth; (2) instructing them in the truth, and in the way to its attainment; (3) inspiring them telepathically with glimpses of the higher states; (4) encouraging them to persevere in travelling along the way; (5) warning them against the pitfalls and obstacles.
