My teacher once pointed out to me that there's only one guru, the one that stays inside you.
So, stop looking for one.
I've seen people traveling around for classes and learning from many teachers, and hope to meet their guru. Many likes to travel to India to seek guidance, enlightenment from a potential guru.
But wait a minute, who says that a guru must be staying in India???

Its very easy to see others but not ourselves. In order to meet the guru inside, we do need an external guru to light up the path. Seeking comes with expectation, and a seeker never find. Let nature take its course.
Meanwhile, appreciate the teachers around us. When i mentioned "teacher", i do not mean any particular yoga teachers, or certified school teachers. I refer to anyone that we met, who'd crossed or crossing our path; is there to teach us something. Friends, family, colleague or even the strangers we met on the street today.
We meet many teachers along the way, like how we're a teacher to others too. Different teachers tell the same story in many different ways. But at the end of the day, there will be one particular person, that we go to.
Some people ask, how do you know that person is your guru.
Don't know, i just know.
Perhaps the one that show me how to unlock the gate to home.
