Do you have a Guru?

Do you have a guru? good. You don't have a guru? good. More than one? also good. None? Fine. Do you believe everything your guru says, want to become like her confident that you will never accomplish this? 

Take it from an old Chinese collection of stories, The Blue Cliff Record, compiled in 1125 C.E. (thats 892 years ago):

A monk (named Hui Ch'ao) asked Fa Yen, "Hui Ch'ao asks the Teacher, what is Buddha?"
Fa Yen said, "You are Hui Ch'ao"
— The Blue Cliff Record; Case #7

Endless commentaries you are welcome to read – that may or may not help you, or you can simply understand the text as “be yourself, take care of your own stuff, don't try to explain”, and above all - don't expect anybody to do your work, to be yourself.

Can Buddha or Jesus or Barbarella or  [enter your favorite idol here] be your Guru? The dilemma starts with the understanding of the Guru. We have developed this perspective of three year olds: "Papa fix it", yet Guru's don't fix anything, they don't even tell you to believe or trust anything they tell you on the contrary. "Guru is a Sanskrit term (गुरु) that connotes someone who is a 'teacher, guide, expert, or master' " [Wikipedia].

There is an easy test — ask your Guru "are you a guru?" — if they say "yes" they're not your guru.
