It is futile to run after a guru. The guru is within us. Sounds interesting isn't it?
Roadside drunkard also can be your guru because he teaches us not to be a nuisance to the society. Looking at the perverted souls around us , they too , teach us not to lead a life in that fashion. So, one need not run after a guru or start hunting for a guru. Only thing is that we have to identify him. He is ready to impart education to us.
