Why be with a guru

 

The main reasons to be with a guru (spiritual master) are: 

  • You want to have your wishes fulfilled. You find it more pleasurable. 
  • You come for comfort as everything else is more painful to you. 
  • You want to evolve and become enlightened; you want to attain higher knowledge. 
  • You have a vision or a goal in common with a guru, whom you see as a missionary or visionary, who can help you achieve your goal. 
  • You are there just to serve and to give comfort. 
  • You belong to your guru. You have no choice.
