At some point of time, when we feel helpless, we must have realized need of a person who can guide us or whom we can learn from with his experiences. One who can show the way of doing things, this is exactly the time where we need a Mentor/Guru so that whenever I will be in a doubt, whether I was doing the right thing or not, he can clarify my doubts.        

          

We need a person who can say go my dear, do this, I am with you, just make sure that you are doing it honestly and giving your best. He guides us as he has already walked the same path. He help us realizes and attain our full potential. 

The importance of the mentor can be seen from Mahabharat when Arjun chose unarmed Krishna(The Charioteer) over the powerful army. Arjun was completely aware of the fact that without strategy and the vision that Krishna had, the huge army and resources are of no use. On the battleground the Krishna not only acted as the Charioteer but he helped Arjun to drive the battle, by letting him see the right perspective. Krishna also narrated the divine Bhagavad Gita making Arjun aware of his duties.

It is also a mentee responsibility to find the right mentor and attain his trust. So, continue to look for a person whom you need exactly, it is only your job to find a mentor and if you find the one then surrender to him/her with the utmost devotion and trust. He could be anyone might be your teacher, boss, a friend, someone in your family. The mentor- mentee relationship is also considered the most divine relationship in Hindu mythology. He also sow the seed of values in you, the importance of which can be seen in later part of life.

Experience reflects, it is invaluable you cannot purchase it. When a mentor shares his/her experience with his mentee it is exactly as he is giving a secret weapon that can take you to the top from all the hurdles. In return, mentee also has to return some value to him (not financially).

In today's time, as the number of options has increased and the complexities have also gone high, Young generation feels too much stressed and confused between the things. The role of mentor and importance of proper mentorship has also gone more important. So you are lucky if you have a one or continue looking for the one.
