indeedy it is not about following someone, it is about setting one person as your example not to do all he or she does but to compare and think about what that person said. a guru basically takes the fog away and shows you your oppertunities clearly, it is you who decides what to do further. he is not in charge of your life.
Yes, follow noone, learn from everyone and develop the intuition and inspriation within. Take nothing on blind faith. Practice your own spritual discernment rather than accept the word of a self proclaimed guru. Most of them have an agenda and it is not enlightened. The biggest thing to do is to grow beyond devoteeism and stand on your own. Living mastery or enlightenment requires this anyway. Peace and love Jnanic
