What is the Guru needed for?
Only to indicate the way to liberation?
Is this some magic road?
A pointer to a coiled snake in the mooladhara?
Jumpstarting the kundalini to the upper echelons?
Or is it mainly to hack away at our defects?
Deep down, we are all Pure Consciousness.
So who better than the Guru, to remove the defective layers on top?!
