Guru, usually translated as teacher, suggests a transition from darkness (gu) to light (ru), meaning that which dispels the darkness of ignorance. One pictures a Hindu holy man with a long beard—charismatic, perhaps tipping toward authoritarian excess. Yet the subtlety of the term, with its Latin cognate gravis (heavy, matured), indicates a process rather than a person, a fruit (enlightenment) that ripens to become sustenance for others. —Kythe Heller
