sorry, i meant it the other way also, i meant that if you can give someone or
something special or spiritual powers, that that doesn't make you a guru
immediately, but that's merely my own opinion (more like a guess), but..
*thinks what he wanted to say* i'd definately say that you have a special
something, a special gift.. But a guru is definately more than someone who can do
something special, perhaps he's an experienced teacher also..
Just saying what i think, don't blame me if i'm wrong :)
