''Satguru'' is a title given specifically only to an enlightened ''rishi'' or '' sant'' whose life's purpose is to guide the initiated '' shishya'' on the spiritual path, the summation of which is the realization of the Self through realization of God. Hinduism According to Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, a Hindu ''satguru'' is always a '' sannyasin'', an unmarried renunciate, but not all writers include this stricture.

The words ''sant'' and ''satguru'' were prominently used in the spiritual ideology of Kabir in the 15th century. Kabir says "''satpurush ko jansi, Tiska satguru ...
