Chandogya Upanishad 6.31
beginner
स पूर्वां वा दिशं प्रत्युद्यायात्क्रोशन्निति वामे नमे ग्रामे विमुक्तोऽस्मि गन्धारा मे जनपदोऽयं ग्रामः इत्यमुमुपदिशेयुः॥
sa pūrvāṃ vā diśaṃ pratyudyāyātkrośanniti vāme name grāme vimukto\'smi gandhārā me janapado\'yaṃ grāmaḥ ityamumupаdiśeyuḥ ||
""He would go toward the east, crying out: 'I was left here blindfolded! My homeland is Gandhara!' Then people would give him directions: 'Go this way to Gandhara.'""
What This Means:
The lost man cries for help, and kind people point him toward home. With guidance, he can find his way.
Going Deeper:
The teacher (guru) is like those who give directions. Without a guide, the soul cannot find its way back to Brahman.
How To Apply This:
Cry out for guidance! With proper direction from a teacher, you can find your way home to the Self.
