Three types of Guru
For each of the three ways of practice, there is a type of guru. First of all, Hinayana's guru denies worldly life, concentrates only on practice and can pass on her experience to others. Accordingly, his disciples follow his teaching, relying on his experience, and advance in practice, constantly receiving from the guru information about the level of their achievements. Guru Hinayana is very clean, because he lives away from this world of desires and, in principle, does not think about the happiness and freedom of others. Basically, he is only interested in his spiritual perfection.
The second type is the Mahayana Guru. A guru of this type is familiar both with worldly life and with denial of it, but, in addition, he understands the essence of many other spiritual teachings. Guru Mahayana has greater virtue, he is spiritually richer, because he constantly practices the Four Dimensionalities, and immerses you in a calm and peaceful environment. He can answer any question. He is generally much more interesting as a person. But he does not understand the essence of the worldly desires of other people and realizes karma only when it manifests.
Guru Tantra, having looked at the disciple, sees what kind of worldly desires possess his follower, and he leads him to Liberation, allowing the student to satisfy desires, to satiate himself and abandon them. Or such a guru can make the object of meditation a joy associated with worldly desires. When a disciple can experience joy in the Astral world or during meditation, his ecstasy of joy will be much more magnificent than during sexual intercourse. After such experience, people usually forget about the sensual pleasures of the World of Men and begin to intensively engage in spiritual practice.
