”the absolute necessity of a guru,”
is there, and it is being fulfilled in nature, universally, continuously, nature has provided the teaching and learning process and abilities internally, and externally
”But as the learner ‘grows’, it moves away from ‘teacher centred’ to ‘self centred’ (book or computer centred?) way of learning.”
true , as the teacher and learner grow
1 need of external till the internal is kindled adequately
”aavo sadguru mere maname,
antharajyothi jagaavo swaami”
2 many gurus have successfully made themselves dispensable, using audio video
3 students now can learn things at desk top
4 the tendency of nature has been to make the beings as much self sufficient as possible, investing in to them enough intelligence from generations to generations, keeping the need of external teacher to the unavoidable bare minimum, for human in the form of conscience, the internal guru
”by watching others”
ie from external guru
‘wanting’ to swim. Nobody initiated
ie from internal guru
‘Incidental learning, more enduring than formal learning’
learning endures by practice and teaching to others, no matter how learnt
we can take ‘formal’ as teacher cantered learning[external] and ‘incidental’ as teacher-less[internal]
Again, both you and I, (for that matter any two persons) can be a teacher to the other, making the learning faster by holding a‘thought mirror’ to each other.
[good absorbers are good radiators, a law of heat transfer]
my teacher said, teacher learns from students more, than they learn from him , this is highly dynamic process of give and take
no one is a student or teacher exclusively, permanently
In all fields, including the so called “spiritual” this appears to be happening.
definitely, satsangs/spiritual interactions/discourses/book reading are consciously encouraged to accelerate this process
