yes unfortunately in this age of kailyuga it is hard to find a reputable guru , but in the bhagavad Gita sri krsna clearly says ....''now hear O son of Prtha , how by practicing yoga in full consciousnessof me with mind attatched to me , you can know me in full , free from doubt ''. ch ..7 v ..1
krsna then promices to reveal himself to Arjuna ....as this knowledge is here for all to read in the form of the Bhagavad Gita even if we have no guru if we are fully prepaired to surrender to Sri krsna's instructions then Sri Krsna becomes our Guru as he speaks to us through the Gita .
''That which in the begining may be just like poison but at the end is just like nectar and which awakens one toself realisation is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness''...''that hapiness which is derived from contact of the sences with their objests and which appear like nectar at first but like poison at the end is said to be in the mode of passion '' v ...37-38
here krsna explains that the renunciation of sence pleasures which appear to be like nectar and seem very hard to forgo , therefore even the thought of renunciation appears to be like poison , .....but in truth it is the desire for gratification that is the true poison as its pleasures are short lived and leave one only desiring more , but for one who realises the perils of being caught in the mode of passion and who seeks to atain the mode of goodness and to focus the mind on the supreme , he indeed can be called a yogi .
here we are discussing lust of the physical kind , but we should equaly renounce lust for power , fame , money etc , as these are equaly distracting and take ones mind away from god realisation , so even the elders who are past the stage of sexual preocupation are not free from other forms of lust , it is something which all should guard against . .....we must all become Yogis
its hard to find a guru these days, i can't find a one even if i want. my motive is to follow teachings of bhagwad geeta about sex, and nothing else

to become a yogi is possible for anyone , a yogi is simply one who has devoted them selves to god realisation , so to desire to overcome lust is a nececary stage for any aspiring yogi , ...in the 18th chapter Sri krsna speaks about this very thing , ...rohit60221023 i dont have any guru, its just that i read somewhere over the net about the benefits of becoming a yogi so i chose to become one.

it is enough to mindfully fulfill ones own dharma , ... as any work which done with the supreme in mind can lead the aspirant to eventual perfection .and i think it can't be killed but it can be transferred into something useful work.
