Without a true Guru, we cannot attain our intimate treasure. Without the grace of the Guru, one cannot realize the Self Contemplation and concentration, devotion and worship, are all useless without the grace of the Guru. Without the grace of the Guru, one moves like a blind man, floundering, falling into ditches as he wends his way. All great men that have lived in bygone times, All the Saints and Sages of old, have attained realization only by the power of the Guru. In short, Liberation can be attained only by the help of a Guru and in no other way.
