Why be a guru

There are six main reasons to be with a guru. You would like to have your wishes fulfilled, and being with the guru is more pleasurable. Everything else looks more painful to you and you come for comfort.
You want to evolve and become enlightened; you want to attain higher knowledge. You have a vision or goal that you share with the guru, whom you see as a missionary or visionary.You are with guru because you belong to the guru. There is no choice.
