Question: I am a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa since I was 15 years old. I have a small doubt
1. What is the difference between Yogi and Muni
2. What is the difference between Guru and Jagatguru
Answer: Yogi and Muni are more or less the synonyms. Yogi means a person who is striving for the realization of the Paramatman following the
path of Yoga that is union between Jivatman and Paramatman. Muni is a person who is known as Manana-sheela – a person who is contemplating on the higher reality with a view to realize his identity with the supreme Self.
Guru is a spiritual teacher who helps the disciple to lead a higher life. The Jagatguru is one who is a highly evolved soul who can raise the consciousness of the whole world and put the society on a higher track.
