Lord Krishna explains this through the following verse:
"Learn the truth by approaching a spiritual teacher. Inquire from him with reverence and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth."
In life, we often have the choice of who to befriend, who to consider family, and who might be our adversaries. Sometimes, this choice is not entirely in our hands, but what we can control is how we navigate our lives and move forward. It is our right to decide what steps we take in our life's journey. However, there are times when we may not fully understand a situation, and in such cases, it is advisable to seek guidance from a knowledgeable person. By seeking knowledge and guidance from wise individuals, we can advance in our life's journey with more clarity and purpose.
