Yes , it is usually the blind who approach the sighted to ask direction. There is a Sanskrit aphorism that says something along the lines of - I am blind but the spiritual teacher has opened my eyes with the torchlight of knowledge, so I offer my respects to the teacher. The implication is of course the need for spiritual vision or insight.
I understand. I have that, but it's of little use in the face of such severe depression I become numb to life's mercy
