Need of a Guru in Spiritual Pursuit
Any earnest seeker will not have a question on the need for having a Guru to lead him safely and fast to his goal. You want to reach somewhere. You do not clearly know the destination. If someone knows and is ready to help you, why think further about it at all?

Handling difficult interactions

Watching your thoughts
"Watching the thoughts" means witnessing them come and go without getting involved in them. Normally we are always getting involved in the current thought.
