Once you have secured a Guru, leave everything to Him, even the desire to achieve liberation. He knows you more than you yourself ever can.  He will direct you as much as is good for you.  Your duty is only to obey and to smother the tendency to drift away from Him.  You may ask, how are we to earn our food, if we attach ourselves to a Guru like this?  Be convinced that the Lord will not let you starve.  He will give you not only money but even amirtha, not only the food but also the nectar of immortality.

-Divine Discourse, July 24, 1964.

"The God in you is your father, mother, preceptor, and friend." - Baba
