I read something like this in one of the Upanishads...don't know which one. It had something to tell on the role of a Guru....
When a person is exiled from a city by being blind-folded and taken to the middle of the forest and left there, the Guru unties the fold and points the direction of the city. The person then asks everyone on the way for directions and eventually comes back to the city.
This is the role that my Guru also played. Ofcourse I did most of the work, the 99% of it and some times we agreed to disagree. A Guru is himself on the journey and as the gap between the Guru and the disciple decreases, the relationship turns into that of 2 pilgrims exchanging notes.
