Personally find Jaagratha's thoughts to the mark on this topic. Additionally, these are some of my views.

From time immemorial, our culture knew the secrets of meditation. The Guru knew how to impart it and to whom and at what point of time. The control was willingly transferred to the Guru by the sishya either from the beginning or gradually later in life.

Guru knew/knows how to streamline the minds of the young. The guru-sishya relationship provides the platform for this change or grooming. Parents can be given a lot of credit for this in olden day tradition. Because they had the forethought and detachment required to entrust their child to the Guru.

Identifying a Guru itself has become very difficult for many. But, God is ever merciful (after all it is his own creation) and will always send him (Guru) to us at the right time.
