A
diseased person, who has got no knowledge of medical science, is
incapable of treating himself and he has to go to an expert doctor for
treatment. The doctor examines him and makes diagnosis of the disease
and prescribes medicine and diet for the treatment. If the ailing person
follows his advice and undergoes treatment, he is cured. Similarly, we
are to go to an expert spiritual doctor — a bona fide Guru (Divine
Master) who knows the cause of the malady of worldly affliction. And can
prescribe correctly prescribe for the definite cure of the disease of
cycle of birth and death. But, it is very difficult to get a bona fide
Guru at the present sinful black age (Kaliyuga) of corruption. In fact,
it is stated in the scriptures that there may be many so-called Gurus to
grab money from disciples. A bona fide Guru who can dispel all
afflictions is rarely to be found. If we want quality, we have to
sacrifice quantity.
