Brauchen wir einen Guru?

"Today you have arranged this worship of your Guru, that is your
Mother perhaps. Why this Puja is arranged?

One should know that it is very important for every disciple to
worship his Guru. But the Guru has to be real Guru, not a one who is
just exploiting the disciples and who is not authorised by God. A PUJA
is arranged, because you have been initiated into the Statutes of the
LORD. You have been told what are the DHARMAS of a human being. For
that actually you do not need a Guru. You can read a book and know
what are the Statutes of the LORD. But Guru has to see that you
practice them. These Statutes are to be practiced, to be brought into
your own life; which is a difficult thing and without a Guru, a
correcting force, it is very difficult to follow these Statutes of the
Lord because, there is a very big gap between human awareness and
Divine awareness and that gap can only be filled by a Guru, who
himself is complete."
