A Kriyayoga master is indeed the Sadguru. The Sadguru will guide the disciple in every steps of Sadhana. Its entirely different than the everyday word ‘Guru’ we listen everywhere.
A Sadguru should be soul-knowledgeable, supra-sensory (maintaining passivity despite a young woman embracing him), should attain khecari, be gracious, sastra-conversant, devoid of greed, a magnanimous renouncer (not the superficial renunciation), compassionate, benevolent, tranquil, malice-free, unselfish and atmasadhana-oriented
At present the so-called Gurus whisper those ineffective mystic syllables into the ears of their disciples, considering initiation to be complete.
Noticing this unscrupulous and businesslike attitude towards religion in our country, the Great Soul Kabirdas with intense grief expressed:—
Kan phukne ka guru aur hai,
Behad ka guru aur;
Behad ka guru yo mile,
Panhuca deowe thour.
The idea of the above verse may be represented as follows:—
The Gurus who cast spells in the ears are of one kind and the boundless Gurus are of another kind, the one who acquires a boundless Guru is brought to his exact destination.
Thour means Dhama which in the real sense, is "Ultimate Abode'.
