While reading my Sociology textbooks, I found the etymology of the word Guru. I have known this word for ages but never knew that gu means darkness and ru means disperser of
So gu-ru would mean someone who gets you from darkness to light.
On a related note, Kabir in one of his dohas says that revere the guru over your god because it is your guru who made you see god.
