Before telling why it is important to have a Guru, you have to understand the meaning of Guru. When I advise someone to become a guru, he tells me that I am asking you about career and you are saying to become a guru, so I am not of the age to become a guru yet. In fact, a picture of the Guru is formed in his mind, the one of Sadhu Mahatma.
But you have to understand that he is not the only guru in this world. Guru means guide. Guru tells you what is right and what is wrong. 98% people already know this definition of Guru.

But you don't know that a person makes many people his guru in his lifetime.

When a child is born, his first teachers are his parents. It is the parents who create the culture of that child. How to talk to someone, how to behave with someone, all this is taught to the child by his/her parents.
You must have often seen that some children misbehave with animals and some children become emotional after seeing animals getting hurt. Where did the child get this education from? He got this education from his parents.

After this the child grows up and goes to school/college. Then he finds different gurus of different subjects. Like, there are different Gurus of Hindi, different Gurus of English, different Gurus of Maths, different Gurus of Science, different Gurus of Social Science and all the Gurus are experts in their respective subjects.

After this, when the child grows up, he feels like learning different talents like music, dance, football, cricket, wrestling and many more. If the children want to learn music then they will have to take them to a music guru. If they want to learn dance then they will have to take them to a dance guru. Similarly, the people who teach different things may be different but the definition of a guru is different. It is the same “The one who teaches is the Guru.”

You will be surprised to know that a car mechanic is also a guru when he teaches how to make and fix a car, people who take their business far beyond their knowledge are also gurus when they share their experience with others. Be it a cricket coach, football, hockey or tennis coach, all of them are gurus.

After this, when the child grows old, he goes to satsang and gets knowledge from the Guru there. These gurus guide you at the last stage of life. All of them are gurus. If a Guru has a lot of knowledge in that field, then he is superior to a Guru who has less knowledge in the same field.

Why is it important to have a Guru :-

It is necessary to make a person who wants success a guru. It is important to be the one who gives you the right advice because you must have heard “Where is the Guru without knowledge?” Even Lord Shri Ram ji needed a Guru. His guru was Guru Vashishtha ji.
And Lord Shri Krishna, who is the Guru of all the Gurus of this world, had also made him a Guru and his Guru was Maharishi Sandipani. Maharishi Sandipani had taught 64 arts to Lord Krishna.
The better your teacher is, the more success you will get.

Who should be made Guru :-

Before becoming a guru, you have to know in which field you want to achieve success because you have to make a guru in that field. If you want to become a good cricketer then you will have to choose a good cricket coach. Who is this coach? Guru is the one. Similarly, if you want to sing music, then you will have to take lessons from a good singer as your guru. If you want to do business, then you will have to learn from a successful person related to the same business. That man is the Guru.

Things to keep in mind while making a Guru :-

You will have to appoint a Guru related to the field in which you want to achieve success and that too a Guru who has achieved great success in the same field. If you are from a different field and your guru is from a different field, then you will never be able to achieve success in that field, like if you want to pass in Math's and you have become a guru of Sanskrit, then you may read thousands and lakhs of Sanskrit books. But you will never be able to pass Math's.

If Sachin Tendulkar had made a football coach his guru, would he have become the God of cricket? Can't make it.

Your Guru should be really knowledgeable and successful because if your Guru's intellect is corrupt then he will teach you the same because you must have heard that "the disciple of one whose Guru is a hypocrite will also become a hypocrite." ,

There are some people who learn something from somewhere and start teaching it to others and they start considering themselves as gurus, in fact they become arrogant. A true Guru has no ego.

I hope you have now understood why it is important to have a Guru. Also, you must have understood who should be appointed as Guru and the things to be kept in mind while appointing a Guru.
