People think by blind devotion and unquestioning obedience to Guru and by surrendering to Guru they get enlightenment but it is not so.

They lose the independent thinking power, time, effort, and their hard-earned savings in the hope of realizing God. People are emotionally vulnerable and “brainwashed and psychologically seduced,” by the myth propagated by the belief system,

The seeker of truth must be “too smart” to ever fall into the trap of religious propagated myth.

The so-called enlightened Gurus who promise instant enlightenment for money are not Gnanis. The seeker of truth has to be very careful if he is seeking truth nothing but the truth.

Everyone pursuing or thinking of pursuing the path of wisdom need not fall into the trap of physical Guru. Devotion to physical Guru is the devotional path not the path of wisdom. 

Religious people follow the path of Bhakti and the yogic path. The path of wisdom is only for those who are serious in their quest for truth. Without an intense urge, it is difficult to tread the path of wisdom.

So many scandals of the fake Gurus are exposed in recent times. The darker side of modern Gurudom of fake Gurus and yogis so embarrassing~ sometimes vicious or criminal~ reports which they prefer to hide.

If one is seeking truth, nothing but the truth, then he has to keep in mind, the truth cannot be bought in the spiritual supermarket.

 Remember:~

There is no need to walk in the mountains in search of the truth. There is no need to meet any Gurus. There is no need to renounce family life. There is no need to study the scriptures. There is no need for glorifying the Gurus. There is no need to spend the fortune to please the Gurus. Going to the mountains, searching for a Guru, renouncing the family life, studying the scriptures, glorifying the personal Gods and Gurus are the greatest obstacle in the path of wisdom.

One need not be a monk, a sanyasi, or swami to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Religious rituals scriptural mastery, are not a qualification to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Monkhood and sanyasa are the greatest obstacles in the truth- realization, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Guru, Swami, Yogi, Sadhu belongs to religious paths. Religious paths are path meant for the ignorant who blindly accept their experience the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality because the universe is the product of ignorance.

When wisdom dawns then the unreal nature of the world in which you exist is exposed. Thus, whatever experiences take place within the world in which you exist is bound to be a falsehood.

The Guru, Swami, Yogi, Sadhu, and Avatara nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman because they are based on the false self (ego), and false experience (waking). The Path of wisdom is only for those who are seriously in search of ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth. Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana is the knowledge of the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space.

Remember:~

Do not search for Guru in the world in which you exist. God is the  Soul, the Self. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

As the truth of the ‘Self is hidden by the ‘I’ it requires for its extraction competent instruction, excavation, the removal of ignorance.

People refuse to accept anything other than their Gurus words. For them, their Gurus words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything else other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.

Such mindsets are not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth nothing but the uncontradictable truth.

The transparent truth of the Self is hidden by the ‘I’, which the dualistic illusion.

The transparent truth of the Self is to be attained through constantly reading, reasoning, and reflecting on the Advaitic words of wisdom followed by reflection, meditation, and so forth, but not through perverted discussion and arguments.

All the penances are external because they are based on individuality. Investigating the mind, alone leads to Self-realization. To know what is the mind profits much rather than searching the truth in the external world moving from one ashram to another and one Guru to another and one mountain to another. 

When one starts investigating the universe that confronts him will mentally move inwards and will reach the ultimate end and become fully aware of “What is truth?” and “What is untruth?” in his own home or city and establish in truth by realizing what is the untruth.

Nothing is real but the Soul. Nothing Matters but love for the Soul. The Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is everywhere and pervades everything in the domain of the form, time, and space. The Soul is hidden within the form, time, and space and it is beyond the form, time, and space. The Soul alone is and the form, time and space are merely an illusion.:~Santthosh Kumaar
