Book excerpt: Be Your Own Guru explains that running after gurus is not what this age calls for. It is time for us to get our personal act together and be actively involved to create a world that works. "Self responsibility" is the basic message of this book. Don't give your personal power away by buying packages of truth and salvation. We can find our way out of the maze we've created, but we must follow the directives of the Guru within. And that's just common sense.
