Guru, usually translated as 'teacher,' suggests a transition from darkness (gu) to light (ru), meaning 'that which dispels the darkness of ignorance.' One pictures a Hindu holy man with a long beard—charismatic, perhaps tipping toward authoritarian excess. Yet the subtlety of the term, with its Latin cognate gravis (heavy, matured), indicates a process rather than a person, a fruit (enlightenment) that ripens to become sustenance for others.
—Kythe Heller, "Once a Teacher, Always a Student"
Are you one of those people that likes to do everything yourself? You believe that you learn better? Perhaps with a teacher or guide, you would learn wisely.
Blessings.
