One view. True
But you can never know if the Guru is real unless he wants you to know
Those who are very advanced hide it completely. At all times. So we never know
So what is the point then? They silently await for someone who can absorb their full glory.
Often they wait patiently for a thousand years , five thousand years.
They are the immortal. They can rarely be found.
When krishna and Ram come, Jesus arrives, or Buddha or Ramana maharshi, then these great saints appear for a short time, teach them or give them tremendous powers and then disappear!
The immortal who helped Ramana , it is not well known to most, was someone ten thousand years old or more
Truth is we are nothing compared to the purity of such great people!
NOTHING
In every prayer we have , we constantly want a penny of material success or achievement. Could Be related to body, wealth or fame or respect
If we are going to squander our spiritual wealth for trivial nonsense, we are not Ready
