We can travel all over the country finding out by trial and error which road goes where, but why go to all this trouble? Simply ask someone the way! After all, life is not very long. It is not long enough to investigate all the possibilities. That is why the scriptures say, "Meditation starts from contemplating the Guru, worship starts at his feet. His word is the basis for controlling the mind and liberation comes through his grace." If you have the address of this house, you can reach here by asking along the way, but if you don't know the address, how can you ask for directions? People wonder, "Where should we fix our mind? On what should we meditate?" That is why you need the Master.
