What is the connection between having a Guru and possessing Shraddha, based on the provided text?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

Chapter 2 emphasizes that a Guru is indispensable for gaining knowledge and reaching one's spiritual goal, stating, "Without a Guru, there is no knowledge or spiritual goal; this scriptural truth is firm." The text provides examples of Lord Rama holding the feet of Vasistha and Lord Krishna serving his Guru Sandipani to illustrate this point. Immediately following this, it introduces the necessity of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). This juxtaposition suggests that true Shraddha involves placing faith not just in abstract principles but also in a living Guru, accepting their guidance with the same humility that even divine incarnations displayed.
