The Guru

The guru knows people, 
and through that knowing 
understands none can be generalized.
All is never a word you can use when describing them.
Each is more accurate.

Sure we may have similar ideas, but even people of the same sect
or religion or family will each have their own outlook and ways of doing
The guru gives each leeway
Sends all skin and hair color love
Does not generalize locales or customs.

Understanding we are each unique
Identical twins are not the same.
Not exactly.
Pete and repeat have diverse ideas.
They are each individual with their own thinking mind.

The guru understands nature.
Appreciates the seasons, the elements, the cycles.
The guru tries to change no one. 
Inspires, uplifts, and sends love.
To each.
That is what the guru does.

The 'guru' is a 'saint' is a 'Rebbe' -- all are specialists in unlocking the mysteries of the human psyche. Whew! Did I write all that?! Smiles, Gershon (No guru, I!)
