We are all One with God, but we have an intimate personal relationship with our Guru.
As Guru Nanak Dev Ji says in Japji (5th Pauri):

From the Gurmukh comes the Naad.
From the Gurmukh comes knowledge.
Through the Gurmukh we stay merged.

The Guru is the form of God
That you can meditate on, imagine, and love.

The Guru is the mother, Maya.

When I know it
I can't say it,
Words are useless.

The Guru has given me one understanding:
All souls are gifts of the One.
May I never forget Him!
