YES! Without my guru - Dr. Seuss, I would never have understood the spiritual truth of the Truffula trees (inter-being).

"What’s more, snapped the Lorax. (His dander was up)
Let me say a few words about Gluppity-Glupp.
Your machinery chugs on, day and night without stop
Making Gluppity-Glupp. Also Schloppity-Schlopp.
And what do you do with this leftover goo?...
I’ll show you. You dirty old Once-ler man, you!
You’re glumping the pond where the Humming-Fish
hummed!
No more can they hum, for their gills are all gummed.
So I’m sending them off. Oh, their future is dreary.
They’ll walk on their fins and get woefully weary
in search of some water that isn’t so smeary.
And then I got mad.
I got terribly mad.
I yelled at the Lorax, Now listen here, Dad!
All you do is yap-yap and say,
Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!
Well, I have my right, sir, and I’m telling you
I intend to go on doing just what I do!
And, for your information, you Lorax, I’m
figgering on biggering
and Biggering
and Biggering
and Biggering,
turning MORE Truffula Trees into Thneeds
which everyone, EVERYONE, EVERYONE needs!"

Certainly a guru can explain and encourage a person to see what they otherwise might not.
A spiritual advisor, priest, minister, or anyone who has much wisdom through living and wants to share, can be a great help. They can help to expand your consciousness by giving you an entirely new way of looking at the world and it's inhabitants. A different way of responding and the peace that comes with that.
A guru who would be around regularly to guide would be the greatest way for a person to become directed, and aware. It is not an overnight process so a serious follower would need the discipline that comes from their guide.

Guru is not necessary for spiritual path. But havinga Guru is good as the guidance from Guru makes you achieve the spiritual things in short time. In fact he/ she is a short cut. Guru also takes care of you if you are desciple of a real spiritual guru. The real spiritual gurus are hard to find these days.
