When Ram Dass returned home from India in August, 1972 after spending time with his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), he appeared on a radio show and spoke about the experience for the first time

As it's mentioned - "Shastras describe the qualities of a Knower. They also specify that the Guru should be “shrotriya” and “brahma-nishtha”, which means he should be a realized knower of the ultimate Truth and exclusively dedicated to the Truth alone." -– Nutan Swamiji
A Guru is a teacher - nothing more, nothing less.
When we go to school or university, we know we are there to learn, and we accept that one day we must leave.
A true teacher's deepest wish is for you to step forward, stand on your own two feet, and ultimately surpass their knowledge and methods.
We do not worship our university professors or ape their behavioral patterns.
The same applies to the spiritual path.
The Guru is simply a mirror; each of us needs to realize our own true Self and walk our own unique path.
