...ife wasnt all about me anymore, and for the first time, I didnt feel alone. To put it bluntly, loneliness is nasty. A study by the National Institute of Aging says that, People who feel lonely have more health problems and a shorter life expectancy than those who do not feel lonely. Loneliness plagues Americans; it causes stress, shortens our lives, and, in general, makes us a despondent and sorrowful lot.

Well, Ive found the cure for this common american disease called loneliness, and its a guru. Yes, finding someone who will ru (remove) your gu (darkness or muck) is a surefire way to find peace and a release from the ills that plague you. You see, we are all like tiny drops of the ocean wandering around, and until we get back, we dont have the great vast sea of knowledge or bliss from which to draw. One of the quickest ways to get back to the ocean is to find yourself a guru, a person or group of people, who can teach you lifes greatest lessons without your protest and without your ego saying, Im going to do it my way. Some people think that surrender to a guru makes you bland and uninteresting, but by adding your drop of the ocean back into the voluminous sea, you actually have more to draw from and can become a much more rich and vibrant individual.

You dont have to travel to India; you dont even have to be Indian. You dont even have to practice yoga very much to find a guru. The great thing is about this tradition is that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, so, sit back, relax, be receptive to all the lessons life brings to you, and get ready to discover yogas untapped resourcethe tremendous power of surrender to a guru.
