Religious Gurus are not Gnanis, they propagate only religion.+

By sticking to some Guru and surrendering to him, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Surrendering is a religious fable. Surrendering is nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.

The Gurus, yogis, Swamis are not Gnanis. The Gurus, yogis, Swamis are nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman. In the path of wisdom, the Guru is not necessary.

Advaitic truth is very simple, but it becomes very difficult if one wants to realize it through some Guru or some teaching. To realize this simple truth one need not go to any Guru, one need not lose himself in the labyrinth of philosophy; one need not spend his lifetimes and indulge in glorifying Guru or Gods, one need not search truth in the books, one need not renounce his family life. One has to be in the world but not of the world.

It is because of our inherited samskara or conditioning we are carrying the baggage of the mental junk. We have to burn all the junk, which is blocking our realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman.

If one is seeking truth nothing but truth one has to drop worshiping the physical Gurus, sticking to the Gurus emotionally. Glorifying the Guru and God is for those who are not seeking the truth.

Religious Gurus are not Gnanis, they propagate only religion. Religion is not spirituality. Religious Gurus do not propagate wisdom they are meant for guiding the ignorant populace in practical life within the practical world. Many Religious gurus are serving humanity by giving free education and maintain love and harmony in society but they are nothing to do with the Atmic path.

The guru is nothing to do with Advaitic wisdom. A Gnani never identifies himself as a guru.

There are so many in the guise of Gurus and Godmen with criminal records who indulge in cheating rape, murder.

The Gurus and Godmen who promise instant enlightenment or Self-realization are not Gnanis. Mixing religion with the Atmic path is like mixing oil in the water.

Seekers from the west mistake whoever calls them as gurus are Gnanis, thus, their mission of seeking the truth is misguided by such Gurus.

Those mystics, who talk of experiencing the supreme reality, do not know that the word experience implies something else, a second to be experienced, i.e. duality, i.e. non-reality, and those who talk of "direct knowledge" of reality again do not perceive that knowledge implies a second thing to be known; i.e. duality exists. i.e. no reality here! : ~
