In Sri Guru and His Grace, Swami B.R. Sridhar explains why submission to the guru is indispensable for the sincere seeker. One can acquire spiritual realization only when mercy and revelation descend from the divine plane to a proper recipient by the grace of the Lord. One cannot approach that which is beyond our senses, knowledge, and imagination without His grace, for our connection with Divinity depends solely on His sweet will. We must come to faithfully depend on His divine agent, Sri Guru, the spiritual master, through whom He likes to distribute Himself.
