7.

Did you receive any help in learning the alphabet?

Did you require a teacher to help you master your musical instrument?

Were you given instruction to enable you to obtain your degree?

If you needed a helper to do these things, do you not also require a teacher who can guide you to the knowledge of the Divine, the wisdom of the Infinite?

That teacher is your Guru and no one else.
