Editing Satguru (section)

== Syncretic traditions ==
[[Meher Baba]] equated worship of the ''satguru'' with worship of God:
{{Blockquote|Consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, each and every creature, each and every human being — in one form or the other — strives to assert individuality. But when eventually man consciously experiences that he is Infinite, Eternal and Indivisible, then he is fully conscious of his individuality as God, and as such experiences Infinite Knowledge, Infinite Power and Infinite Bliss. Thus Man becomes God, and is recognized as a [[Perfect Master (Meher Baba)|Perfect Master]], Satguru, or [[Qutb|Kutub]]. To worship this Man is to worship God.{{sfnp|Meher Baba|2000|pp=28–29}}}}

According to [[Dada Bhagwan]], a ''satguru'' must maintain [[Self-knowledge (Vedanta)|self-knowledge]]:
{{Blockquote|It is very difficult to define and identify someone as a satguru. In the language of the scriptures, whom can you call a satguru? Sat is the Atma (the Soul, the Self); so, whoever has attained the Soul, that guru is a satguru! Therefore, an 'Atmagnani (knower of the Soul, Self-realized) can be called a satguru, for he has experienced the Self. Not all gurus have Atma Gnan. So, the one who continuously remains as the eternal element - the Self - is a satguru! The Gnani Purush is a satguru.<ref name="Satguru">{{Cite web |title=Who Is a Satguru? |url=https://www.dadabhagwan.org/path-to-happiness/relationship/guru-disciple-relationship/who-is-a-satguru/}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=September 2022}}}}
