Do you know what learning means? When you really learn, you learn from life; there is no particular teacher to learn from. Everything is taught to you: a dead leaf, a bird in flight, a perfume, a tear, the rich and the poor, those who cry, the smile of a woman, the highness of a man. You learn from everything, so you don't need spiritual guides, philosophers, gurus. Life itself is a master for you, and you are in a state of constant learning.
