You are on the DOT when you say that searching for a guru in body-bowl form itself is a mirage. The living wisdom itself is the Guru in essence.
But perhaps because this living wisdom happens so rarely in one's lifetime that one can only be indebted to the Guru in physical form who sparks this flame of final understanding in one and ends the 'search'.

A guru need not be a well known person, can be in the form of your own mother, father, friend or even foe… ! Very nice article…
