WHY A TRUE GURU IS REQUIRED
I . A human since his birth till his death needs company. Mother, father, brothers, sisters, relatives, sons, daughters, grand children are the best example of this. All these relatives, when their own interests vary from each other, prove to be selfish at one stage or the other. In the words of 9th Guru, Guru Teg Bahadur "In this world, I have not found any true friend. The whole world is attached to its own pleasures, and when trouble comes, no one is with you." (Sri Guru Granth Sahib - page 633)
II. The cause of all sufferings is the man's ego, lust, and greed. When greed is not fulfilled desire rises, when desire is not fulfilled anger develops. Ego is the main cause of all sufferings. Man can be happy, if he gives up his ego. But then how and whom to give up him self - his own ego. He must be a really true friend, a well wisher, believable, protector, powerful and great. So is the need of the True Guru.
