The Spiritual Guide

by Alireza Nurbakhsh

“We cannot overcome our shortcomings by ourselves. We need help transforming into a better person–into someone who can exhibit divine character traits. If we are left to ourselves, we take the easy path of ignoring or even worse not seeing any flaws in ourselves. In this context, a guide can be anyone who helps us to overcome our shortcomings.”
