The Gurus and yogis belong to religion. The Gurus and yogis have egocentric dualistic knowledge. Thus, their knowledge is limited to the domain of the form, time, and space. Whatever is based on the form, time and space belong to the dualistic illusion. Whatever belongs to the dualistic illusion is ignorance.
The Gurus and yogis dominate the ignorant populace and Gurus and yogis are not Gnanis. Their views and judgment are based on a dualistic perspective. They simply go on fabricating ornaments words and theories and creating an illusion in the minds of people posing themselves as authentic Seers, enlightened people. The worship or glorifying Gurus does not free one from ignorance
In the olden days, men were primitive in their thought so that a man having little knowledge was considered a genius. Nowadays our knowledge is so advanced that the genius of those days would be an ordinary man of today. Therefore if one finds truth, free his -Self from the tyranny of environment and tradition, not by condemning them but by examining and testing them by deeper Self-search o find out whether they be true or not.
Accept nothing on the authority of Godmen or genius of the past or present but only if it proves true after the examination.
Sentimentally and emotionally sticking to physical Guru or yogi will block Self- realization. No Guru can transmit wisdom to you. You have to do your own homework.
The like-minded people are always willing to examine facts and judge them calmly whereas the religious scholars and intellectuals will be immune to all facts and hold hard to their delusions. Such people do not want the truth but only what pleases them. This is because of their egocentric attitude. Their attitude is “What pleases them is the truth, what they dislike is false.
The worship or glorifying Gurus does not free one from ignorance. The rewards are none to them, the reward achieved in their lives is of consequence and not the result of worshiping and glorifying the Gurus.
People always need some sort of hope when their minds are not yet enlightened. "Self' is closer to man than his own veins. "With the Self- Knowledge, one will begin to know the ultimate truth, to finally realize the fact that, the Self is not the form and becomes conscious that the ‘Self’ is the ‘Spirit’.
Most people lack the patience and perseverance in investigating and collecting all the data before judging: hence they assume Gurus or Godmen are great because other people say so, or that he is wise because he himself says so, or that what he teaches is true because it attracts them. Such an attitude and easy assumptions become an obstacle to fold the truth and it requires some trouble to put into effect. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
