[Daily OM]: Many of us long to find a spiritual
teacher or guru. We may feel unsure of how to practice our spirituality
without one, or we may long for someone who has attained a higher level

that the greatest teacher you could ever want is always with you--that
is your life.
The people and situations we encounter every day have much to teach us

classroom of the teacher that is your life.
