“Unless the knowledge of atman (true self) be taught by another, there is no way to learn it. (Katha Upanishad, 1.2.8)

"Try to learn the truth by approaching an illumined soul. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized ones can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth." (Bhagavad Gita, 4:34)

“Only one who has a guru can know the truth.” (Chandogya Upanisad, 6.18.2)

“For I have heard from men like you. Sir, that only such knowledge which is learnt from a teacher leads to real good.” (Chandogya Upanishad, 4.9.3)

“An Acharya is one who fully understands the conclusions of the revealed scriptures. His own behavior reflects his deep realization, and thus he is a living example of divine precept. He is therefore known as an Acharya, or one who teaches the meaning of the scriptures both by word and deed.” (Vayu Purana, 1.24)

“A person who does not see his spiritual master as all-auspicious, but rather views him as an ordinary man, suffers the result of killing a brahmana and faces danger at every step of his life.” (Narada Pancharatra, 1.6.69)

“In order that he may understand that Eternal, let him, fuel in hand, approach a guru who is well versed in the Vedas and always devoted to Brahman (God)." (Mundaka Upanishad, 1.2.12)

“That wise man who is ever anxious to gain knowledge of the proper way of worshipping God is alone fit for having diksha conferred upon him. It is by doing this that Dharma prospers.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 7.27)

“There is no doubt that a person who accepts a Vishnu mantra from a foremost twice-born spiritual master becomes liberated from the contamination that has accumulated from millions of births.” (Narada Pancharatra, 1.9.27)
