Summary

Q: What is the role of a guru?

The word ‘guru’ in the classical sense means the dispeller of darkness and ignorance.

Can another help to dispel the darkness in oneself? He can only point out, ‘You are the door through which you yourself have to go.’

Should a teacher lay down what is right conduct? This means they have set the pattern and are conditioning.

How do I know if a teacher is right? Why should I accept a teacher?
