Clarity, security based on the within.

"Let him approach with humility

a guru who is learned in the scriptures

and established in Brahman.

To such a seeker,

whose mind is tranquil

and senses controlled,

and who has approached him

in the proper manner,

let the learned guru

impart the science of Brahman,

through which the true,

Imperishable Being is realized."

Atharva Veda, MundU 1.2.12Ð13. EH, 157
