To realize the universe is consciousness, there is no need for Guru.+

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.

Guru is needed in the religious and yogic path. For truth seekers, the Soul is the inner Guru.

The seeker has to grow from the inside out by Soulcentric reasoning. None can teach him none can make him reach the ultimate end of understanding. There is no other Guru but the formless Soul or the consciousness, which is the Self.

The invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness, is the source of all that exists as the universe.

To realize the universe is consciousness, there is no need for Guru.

That is why Sage Sankara says:~ ~ VC 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.

VC-65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.

There is no need for a Guru for acquiring Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

The seeker must personally strive by all means of soul-centric reason to be free from the bondage of the illusory experience of form, time, and space. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
