However you return to your true nature is irrelevant. The
ego likes to attach itself to concepts, words, ideas, right, wrong, etc.
If someone (enlightened being, anyone) points you to
yourself, your true nature, which is egoless, it doesn’t matter who the person
is. It could be a “guru”, a child, a homeless person.
Thich Nhat Hanh quoting the Buddha, "My teachings are a
finger pointing to the moon. Do not get caught in thinking that the finger is
the moon. It is because of the finger that you can see the moon."
