Guru Paduka Stotram by Adi Shankara

Shankara was always very devoted to the value of a guru.  Of course in our modern world, it is easy to be rather cynical, but still we can recognize the importance of the principle of “guru”. 

No matter what we wish to learn, someone has to teach it.  Knowledge needs to be passed from person to person in one form or another no matter what the topic.  In that largest sense, what can be more valuable or important than a good guru?
