I would like to know how you found out that you were going to be a Guru. Was it something that came about spontaneously?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

By default. I started telling somebody what I know, and they made me a Guru, what to do? You know, everyone is a teacher for someone or the other, whether you want it or not. So, when you know something and you teach others, you become their teacher. And when you learn from someone, then you become a student. So everybody is by default a teacher to someone and a student to someone else.
