According to Sri Sri Thakur, the disciple should take his Guru (a Sadguru, of course) to be the Jagadguru (or the World Master, the Purushottama) and not an ordinary human being, in tune with Lord Krishna's statement in the Bhagavadgeeta,

 He who truly knows My birth and activities to be divine is not born again but attains to Me (IV - 9). 

Also like in Patanjali's aphorism:

By contemplating on the form of one who has no attachments, concentration of mind is attained.

Sri Sri Thakur advised his disciples to meditate on his physical form such that all the admirable qualities and attributes in him would get automatically transferred into their beings and fashion their souls. Further, he assured that because he had, by triple modes of spiritual practice, simultaneously experienced the nature of Brahman, Paramatma (supreme universal self) and Bhagawan (Personal and universal Godhead) as the ultimate spiritual goals of the seekers, his true disciples also would simultaneously have such experience. "That," he said, "was his only expectation from his disciples and he would love to wait for the day to see that fulfilled".
