By Guru or Master I mean one who knows God, or one who is Self-realized, God-realized, fully enlightened or illumined, one who has realized their oneness with our common and One God/Spirit/Truth, etc. One's I'm pretty sure were/are true Gurus/Masters and/or Avatars of past include: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Moses, Patanjali, Rama, Krishna, Paramahansa Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Paramahansa Yogananda (and his paramgurus), etc. I'm sure there are many more that I'm aware of and those I'm not aware of. But I'm really interested in those that are considered (by a few, or even better, by many) to be true Gurus/Masters and are alive in the body today?
And 2nd question I ask sincerely and respectfully: why do you feel or think the one(s) you mentioned is/are true or real? Is it one or more of the following for example: faith, feeling, reason/logic, evidence (firsthand or secondhand, like observation or miraculous stories told by others), experience, etc.? Thanks!
