One of the essential requirements for a devotee in order to lead a religious life is to have a well qualified Acharya or Guru. Only a teacher can guide a pupil towards knowledge and enlightenment. The inner meaning of the philosophical truths cannot be attained by just self-study. Any devotee has to fully realize that he is absolutely dependent on God and that his intrinsic duty is to serve God at all times. He should realize that he is a mere tool in the hands of God and do all actions not for his selfish purposes but with a spirit of providing pleasure to God and this is the height of renouncement of ego.
