Guru Tattva : Samasti Guru and Vyasti Guru

Lets understand what is source of this guru-tattva which contains

guru-shakti. In order to free the conditioned souls, that are grasped by ignorance and falsehood and who are eternally suffering the fire of the three material pangs and are bounded by shackles of sensual attachments, the Lord, who is full of compassion and filled with  boundless, causeless mercy, assumes the form of Samasti guru. This Samasti guru is the direct incarnation of Lord and is eternally present in His eternal abode. From this most compassionate and merciful samasti guru, the guru-tattva emanates. Hence the guru- tattva is present in this world in sarva-vyapi form. Also there are great Nitya siddha souls in this world send by the Lord, who are completely absorbed in  bhajan 24 hours a day, to whom this great guru-shakti from samasti-guru is transmitted. These individual Nitya siddha purusas are direct representative of samasti-guru in this world and are called Vyasti-guru. Thus there are many Nitya siddha individuals who carries the guru-shakti whose source is direct incarnation of Lord, samasti-guru. Thus many times it is said Guru in one. That refers to Samasti-guru. The same samasti guru is present in this world as various Nitya siddha individuals in form of Vyasti-guru. Thus guru and Lord are non-different in that term. Infact Vyasti-guru is even greater than Lord because we can easily serve Guru (vyasti) and directly talk to him, serve him, take instruction from him in this material world, but only very very rare personalities can get audience of Lord Himself.

Thus samasti-guru is present in all vyasti gurus in this world to rescue the people of the world from the grip of maya and give them devotion to the Lord. They can take them to lotus feet of Sri Bhagwan Himself. Now one may ask, that I also have guru-tattva so I am also vyasti-guru? No. I also have guru-tattva so I can also tell people to chant,hear and tell the glories of Lord. But I am nitya siddha, I am not a great soul, I am not myself sitting at lotus feet of Lord. Thus I  cannot be Vyasti-guru. Only those personalities who are Nitya Siddhas coming from Goloka or have attained the lotus feet of Lord and are constantly engaged in His service are direct expansions of the Lord in form of Real Guru (Vyasti).
