Jai Bhagwan!

What’s the point, what is the purpose of a guru?  A guru is one who leads the learner from darkness into light, from unknowing to knowing.  The one true guru is within each of us; so, why one earth would any of us need an external guru?  If you are thirsty, would you turn down a glass of water if it were offered to you?  Would you say, “I don’t need the glass of water because I can just dig a well here on my land,” of course not!  The true guru is the well and we each need to be digging our wells but as we dig, we will each need water to quench our thirst.  It is our external gurus that provide us each with glasses of water as we dig.
