00:00My question is, does spirituality need a Guru?
00:03See, what you call as spirituality in English is not the real thing.
00:09Spirituality as most people know it,
00:12Bhutpret, this, that, magical beings, disembodied beings, fancy stuff in the air,
00:17that's what people take as spirituality.
00:20The real thing is self-knowledge.
00:22Self-knowledge is a movement. It's a movement from ignorance to realization.
00:27How does one move to realization?
00:29By making good use of stuff in the world.
00:32So, does one need a Guru? No.
00:34Your very movement from ignorance towards realization is the Guru.
00:39The very urge to not be an ignorant is the teacher.
00:42And when that urge is there,
00:44then you will keep finding suitable teachers at all places, everywhere, at all times.
