How does one begin the journey out of worldly suffering (Samsara) and what is the role of the Guru in this process?

According to Chapter 17, the journey begins after being exhausted by the unendurable torments of worldly existence (Samsara). This suffering leads a person to search for a way to stop the incessant spinning of the wheel of existence. When this thought arises, true purpose (Purushartha) is born. The path is difficult, as it involves overcoming deep-seated ignorance and desires. This is where the Guru's role becomes crucial. The Guru shows the way to a place that is otherwise inaccessible, where even the sun's rays cannot see and the intellect turns back, guiding the seeker past obstacles.
