With the exception of very few who have gained higher spiritual tendencies in prior lives, Self-realization is not possible for anyone without the blessings of a guru.

There is no greater austerity. The guru's blessings flow automatically to any obedient disciple. That is the real service to the guru. — Mata Amritanandamayi

The pain-body, which is the dark shadow cast by the ego, is actually afraid of the light of your consciousness. It is afraid of being found out. Its survival depends on your unconscious identification with it, as well as on your unconscious fear of facing the pain that lives in you.

She gave my mother such a turn, that I have always been convinced I am indebted to Miss Betsey for having been born on a Friday. (Chapter I) — Charles Dickens

Winner

A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence; he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle.
