Why do we need a guru?
If you were clear, you would not go near a guru. Obviously, if you were profoundly happy, if there were no problems, if you understood life completely, you would not go to any guru.... Because you are confused, you seek out a teacher. You go to hi...

You do not choose a guru who says, 'Depend on yourself' - you choose him according to your prejudices. So, since you choose your guru according to the gratification he gives you, you are not seeking truth but a way out of confusion; and the way out of confusion is mistakenly called truth....
Can anyone clear up our confusion?... We have created it. Do you think someone else has created it - this misery, this battle at all levels of existence, within and without? It is because we do not understand ourselves, our conflicts, our responses... that we go to a guru whom we think will help us to be free of that confusion.
