What if children were told to educate themselves in modern sciences without any teacher or any access to prior knowledge gained over centuries? What if we had to reinvent the wheel in every walk of life, without having access to knowledge that was already available from authorities in the field? If this were the case, we would spend a lifetime trying to educate ourselves without making much headway or perhaps even going down a wrong path.
In the same way, a guide is very much required in our spiritual journey too. It stands to reason that a guide in any field needs to be an authority in that particular field. According to Spiritual science a person who is an authority in the field of Spirituality is known as a Guru.
There is a saying that in the kingdom of the blind the seeing man is king. With a highly activated sixth sense, He is the totally ‘seeing’ person in the kingdom of the spiritually blind and ignorant. He is someone, who has already walked the spiritual road under the guidance of his Spiritual Guide and has access to the Universal Mind and Intellect.
