  1. We have had guidance galore. Every newspaper, every magazine, every preacher, every priest throughout the world is guiding us, telling us what to do, what not to do, think this, don’t think that, surrender yourself, don’t listen to him, he is a reactionary, listen to me... We are being guided, shaped, moulded all the time, consciously or unconsciously. Here, we are not guiding anybody; we are like two friends talking things over together. That is totally different. And guidance prevents understanding, in the deeper sense of the word, because if you are guiding me – do this, don’t do that – I can’t understand myself first; I am not looking at myself, I am listening to what you say. That means you become the authority, and I become your slave, either a psychological slave or some other kind of slave. These gurus’ places, their ashrams, become concentration camps. They tell you what to do, how to salute, all that tommyrot. I am not condemning; it is so. Why can’t we be simple, see things, look at and face things as they actually are, instead of this labyrinth and maze? Why do we have to go through all this?
