Why do we need Gurus – self appointed men and women who act as agents for God?

Why have faith in a Power that never shows its face, one that is intangible instead of a living, breathing entity that we can touch and converse with? Why believe in God when the earth bleeds with racism, fundamentalism of all forms and extreme cruelty fueled by greed and an insatiable hunger for power? Why live on earth if it’s so wretched?

Where does all this Faith come from?
