The Guru Question - The Perils and
Rewards of Choosing a Spiritual Teacher
The
spiritual journey is perhaps the most personal
experience of our lives—but does that
mean we have to go it alone? With The Guru
Question, award-winning author Mariana Caplan
brings you a unique and much-needed guide
for deciding whether you need a dedicated
mentor to help illuminate your path to awakening—and
if so, how to navigate the deep complexities
of the guru-disciple relationship.
In
a time when a distrust of authority has been
proven to be a healthy trait, we tend to be
justifiably suspicious of those who present
themselves as gurus and spiritual masters.
Drawing upon her knowledge as both a scholar
of mysticism and lifelong practitioner of
spiritual traditions, Mariana Caplan helps
readers develop the discernment that is crucial
when seeking an authentic teacher—and
reveals the immeasurable rewards that can
come from having a trustworthy guide on the
spiritual path.
