There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization."
Yoga Vasistha says: - Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only through inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
Emotionally and sentimentally getting stuck with the living Guru or dead Guru will obstruct your Self-realization.
You will not be able to transcend the illusory universe into the nondualistic reality if you emotionally get involved with the physical Guru, who is part and parcel of the illusory universe.
Only your intense urge to know the truth will take you to the ultimate end, but your accumulated knowledge will block you from realizing the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
There is no need to go in search of a Guru. There is no need for any teaching. There is no need to indulge in yoga. There is no need to study and scriptures. There is no need to run pillar to post to get Self-realization.
There is no need for Gurus; Grace. The Soul, the Self, is the real Guru.
The seeker of truth should not search for a Guru in the world in which he exists. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.
Swami Vivekananda said: - “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own Soul.”
The 'Self' is the fullness of consciousness. Consciousness is the cause of the world in which you exist, and it, itself, is uncaused.
Without consciousness, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. There is no second thing that exists other than consciousness because everything is consciousness.
When the truth is realized, the world that you think it as reality becomes unreal. :: ~ Saantthosh Kumaar
