Theos-Talk Archives (June 1998 Message tt00092)

In a sense, Dallas, I agree with you about the importance of
the inner guru. However, I also agree with the Tibetan tradition
(and most other countries as well) that an enlightened
external guru/teacher is essential to point us in the right
direction and to give us the necessary assurance that such
a thing is even possible.
