Guru bina gati nahin

*Guru bina gati nahin* 

There can be no progress without the Guru. Let us say you have a lot of water lying on the floor. It will take a lot of time for it to evaporate and disappear, but if you take a wiper and spread the water out on the floor then it will easily evaporate. Isn't it? Similarly on your own no matter how much you try to dissolve your karmas, you infact create more karmas. But if you are in the presence of a gyani, then no matter what they are doing, yoga, knowledge or may be they are in silence, all your karmas start disappearing and evaporating. That is why it is said “Guru Bina Gati Nahin”. 

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji
