There is such an expression as “the flight of the alone to the Alone”. Where is the necessity for a Guru or his grace? God’s grace will do, as it is said in the Upanishad.

How will you get God’s grace? When you discipline yourself. How will you know how
to discipline? By observing others that had walked the path successfully to the goal of
perfection. Who are these men who had walked to the goal? It is these that are known as Gurus.
So you need their help, their personal example, their encouragement and their grace. Thus, we
have come round to the answer that a Guru is necessary as well as his grace. Everything is
necessary - Atma Kripa, Guru Kripa and Isvara Kripa.
