To know this, first ask yourself why do you want a Sadguru. if it is for spiritual growth, then one must have an insatiable craving for it. When, with such strong desire, you begin to visit self-realized saints, then unexpectedly at one place your mind experiences absolute peace. Tribulations of life disappear in His presence. The faith that one’s problems will be resolved under his tutelage will arise. Above all, spontaneously the feeling, ‘I belong to Him’ arises in the heart.

The saint in whose presence such feelings arise, is one’s Sadguru.
