Here is a song from Shri Purandaradasaru which narrates that each one of us should learn from a good 'TEACHER'-guru.

Meaning of the song:

Salvation is not so easy to get
until you become a slave of a Mentor/Master

no use of reading books of knowledge
all the devotion has become a waste

what is the use of becoming scholor by reading several books (Six shaastras)
what is the use by reading several(mUrAru) holy books
Not making of friendship with good/worthy men
no use of showing off (mere) like a braveman(dhIra)

what is the use of wearing (dharisu) garland around the neck (koraLu)
what is the use of counting rosary (japamaNi) with fingers (karadoLu)
No use of run around (tirugidarEnu) like a fool (maruLa) with smear(lEpa) of ash on the body(sharIra)

No use of refusing the friendship of women
No use of penalising one's own body
Until you remember Shri Purandaravittala
who is father of love (manmatha-mAranayya)
without forgetting him.
