In my opinion, a true Guru is extremely rare. They have a specific mission They have a message and then let a disciple spread it but they themselves go back into hiding
In Vishnutirthji maharaj lineage it is Parmanandtirthji maharaja ( who is still alive) and in Yogananda it is Babaji.
But I am not worthy of talking about them
To be worthy of them much much cleaning, devotion interest and love for God must exist. To the extent that hardships are ignored
That is why they are unable to appear. We are simply not ready.
It is true they do appear from time to time but only for a rare deserving soul. How can such a person even talk about it ? He remains silent.
Ultimately the goal is God. Not fame or money.
We make the error in looking for someone famous – then go. Find someone famous. The goal should be someone enlightened.
An enlightened person has given up fame. Money. They mean nothing to him. Who wants such dirt ? Once you have God they will appear as dirt. Nothing compares to the glory of God. Or self. Or Shakti or divine
So if your goal is truly God. God alone. Then you are slowly walking towards a guru
A guru will not bestow anything to a disciple until his sincerity is tested for a long time.
There are many such secrets.
I should not share them. The world remains disrespectful to the great Gurus. They mock them by imitating greatness By making false claims. Seducing students by using logic. Rob them of their money
Such deceitful Gurus are punished heavily in future births
Having said that some organizations do a lot of charity. That is very good.
So the first step we need is sincerity in our goal. Don’t look upon a Guru as an amazon item and look for how many stars he got ! Are you blind dear friend?
A Guru does not want disciples. If the disciple comes to him and only – Only – if he chooses will he accept a disciple. It is not the rating or number of disciples but all in the sincerity
The people of the world are foolish. They seek to solve personal problems. They don’t want God. Is a Guru foolish that he does not see through it ?
So my dear friends. Leave me alone. Find a different blog. Waste your time elsewhere. I am not what you seek
