In this discourse, Om Swami answers the following questions.
Why do many gurus build temples and is there a cosmic significance? There is a cosmic significance, the awakened energy of the guru should live beyond the body. In addition, it's a humble way of keeping the world at large focused. In a Gurusthan if a guru does not direct his worship to some god then everybody will turn that guru into a god. Guru should take the second place and the first place should always belong to God.
Why is there so much love between a guru and a disciple? Om Swami says the guru-disciple relationship is like no other. It is not transactional. It doesn't depend on if desires are fulfilled or not. To have a living guru, is one of the most beautiful possibilities in life, as your path for life is carved out and you just need to keep walking without any worries.
What are the three types of gurus in Sadhana? Om Swami says, Divyogs are gurus who have attained the divine status of the divine, they will not come in their physical bodies to help sadhaks. Siddhyogs are Siddhas who are liberated souls and connected with a lineage, and repeatedly come and help a seeker on the path. Manavog is the documented lineage - a guru, his guru so on. They are those who are historically known to be in a human body at a point in time.

"Once you find a master who walks the talk, whose presence pierces your heart, whose teachings transform you, whose words make you feel divine, don’t let go of him because he, with each unfolding moment, will elevate you even higher. You then experience your own greatness, beauty, and magnificence in every thought of yours. " https://os.me/the-guru/
