Why is a Guru important for a seeker?

Why should a good seeker have a sadguru? Taking examples from his sadhana life and his relationship with his Guru, Poojya Swamiji tells us how he is unparalleled today only because of that association with the Guru. Swamiji says that to understand jeevanmukti, we need to see a jeevanmukta, else how will we understand it? Without such association, whatever we learn remains theory, or at least there will be a lot of stumbling in the path. A sadguru irons out these obstacles with ease.

Slokas chanted in the track

भिद्यते हृदयग्रन्थिः छिद्यन्ते सर्वसंशयाः ।
क्षीयन्ते चास्य कर्माणि तस्मिन् दृष्टे परावरे ॥
