The Guru-disciple concept belongs to religion and yoga. Gurudom has nothing to do with Spirituality or Adyathma.
The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."
So he wore a Guru's robe only for the sake of the ignorant. So he was identified as Guru with parampara by religious people. For the truth seekers, Sage Sankara is a Brahma Gnani.
Sage Sankara himself said: ~ A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).
Thus, it proves that the religious gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.
If you are seeking truth, nothing but the truth, then you must come out of the fold of Gurudom, which is meant for the ignorant populace. You must tread the path independently and reach the destination, which is beyond form, time, and space.
If you are emotionally and sentimentally stuck up in the physical Guru and their ‘I’-centric teachings, you will never be able to cross the threshold of ignorance. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
