Every realised master has acknowledged the importance of a living Guru. The realised master pass on the treasure of divine knowledge and powers to a worthy seeker and makes him/her the next Guru. If a Guru doesn't find a suitable person to pass on the legacy they ask pl to rely on the knowledge documented in words. But all realised masters have become realised only after the touch of another realised master as his/her GURU
