guru is essential? | Science Of Spirituality Blog on Speakingtree.inIf we go by the pure definition of guru, 

ie guru is one who imparts that knowledge/wisdom which removes all ignorance,
this is generally compared with the metaphor light that removes darkness

so thinking laterally
if a seeker succeeds in getting that pure wisdom 
which makes him free of all enigmas, mysteries, on life's vital issues, and clears all illusions,
and which makes him into a transformed individual empowered with heightened abilities
to lead his life successfully, intelligently, without suffering, misery, fear,without mistakes,
then 

we can say that he did succeed in getting a guru 

that guru could be any one , could be any thing, a person, a book, a course, a temple, a statue, a tree, a mountain, a river, 
or even nothing or none from out side, 
but himself, self help, self effort , self exploration, self experiment, self discovery, self observation even self invention without any body else intervention or interference, favor, 

that revelation can happen in sitting under a tree, or in home, while doing routine duties in office, even while driving on a bike, or in satsang, or in contact with a sage 

the point is, one got it or not
if yes, then he is success
if no, he must tread further

''stop not till the goal is reached'' being diligent, open to receive, open to self , open to others, fire of enthusiasm never going off, with sacrifices, with all the thorn pricks on the way
