Guru is a Sanskrit term for a "mentor,guide,expert,or master" of certain knowledge or field. In pan-Indian traditions,a guru is more than a teacher:traditionally,the guru is a reverential figure to the disciple or student,with the guru serving as a "counselor,who helps mold values,shares experiential knowledge as much as literal knowledge,an exemplar in life,an inspirational source and who helps in the spiritual evolution of a student". Whatever language it is written in,Judith Simmer-Brown explains that a tantric spiritual text is often codified in an obscure twilight language so that it cannot be understood by anyone without the verbal explanation of a qualified teacher,the guru. A guru is also one's spiritual guide,who helps one to discover the same potentialities that the guru has already realized.
In Buddhism,the term anattā or anātman refers to the doctrine of "non-self"/"egolessness" –that no unchanging,permanent self or essence can be found in any phenomenon. While often interpreted as a doctrine denying the existence of a self,anatman is more accurately described as a strategy to attain non-attachment by recognizing everything as impermanent,while staying silent on the ultimate existence of an unchanging essence. In contrast,Hinduism asserts the existence of Atman as pure awareness or witness-consciousness,"reify[ing] consciousness as an eternal self."
