When you get a genuine saint as Guru, you must treat your spiritual master at par with God.

Hindu says the spiritual master is another form of God himself because genuine saint’s actions are directly governed by God and such saint has all powers of God. All actions of God and a genuine saint are divine. God and saint has access to soul’s mind and they are fully aware of all known and hidden traits of the soul. God’s and saint’s actions should not be seen from material perspective though a material soul cannot perceive divinity, it should be borne in mind that outwardly material actions has divine meaning.

Divine meaning can be understood only after one turns divine. A four year old boy does not know meaning of the word ‘sex’ though he may know the word. The meaning would be clear only after certain age. Similarly soul under material spell may know the word ‘divine’ but the real meaning of divine will be clear only after mind is capable of sustaining divinity. Divinity is an experience and therefore limited to the minds which have this experience.

Saint says ‘God is happiness.’ But he cannot make you feel that divine happiness unless heart is pure and transformed into divine. Therefore, after it is decided that a saint is genuine, no questions or doubts should be raised on any of his actions. All his actions are to lift souls from dreaded darkness of unending sufferings. Hindu says ‘Actions of saint or God should not be copied’, because these actions are not as they appear to be. Such actions are always characterized by inside thinking related to soul’s internal state of mind.

Even in our day to day life the same activity can have different motives and outcomes. For example the action of piercing a knife into stomach. A murderer gets hanged while a skillful doctor is awarded for the same action. Divine angle is about taking soul towards divinity while material angle is about taking soul away from divinity.

Since All the actions of saint are divine, he should be treated at par with God or in other words Saint is God himself. That is, saint God equivalence is mandatory.
