After major disappointments the perfect divine guru changes to the embodiment of Satan. I have witnessed this kind of shift in a friend of mine. To me both these extremes are just projections. The person, imperfect human being, behind the guru mask is not seen.
I meet on daily basis people who shine forth the divine Self. They are quite ordinary people. It takes a certain kind of personality structure and cultural influence for one to become a guru.
