Gurus Are People, And People Are Gurus

Gurus repeat text; people are practical text in all conditions.

While gurus repeat text for us to digest, our observation of ordinary people’s reactions puts those words into context.

Insight doesn’t belong to a special class of enlightened elite. Instead, life’s most profound insights come from pure observation of completely ordinary people who aren’t trying to teach us anything.

When we’re listening to someone talking, we are observing our own flaws.

Stripping away the grand titles and the pedestals, the only insight that actually changes our life is the insight we develop.

A guide can point at a path, but they cannot walk it for us.
