The Guru who pretends to be Self- realized and plays with the emotions and sentiments of the seeker is a fraud, not a Gnani.+

Some modern Gurus talk of surrendering to God without knowing what God is supposed to be in truth. Just by saying open your heart and surrender nothing happens. Playing with the words and playing with the emotions of the seeker leads only to hallucination.

The Guru who pretends to be Self- realized and plays with the emotions and sentiments of the seeker is a fraud, not a Gnani.

Only a perfect understanding of 'what is what’ leads to truth realization. The truth- realization is Self-realization. Self-realization is God-realization.

If you are seeking truth nothing but the truth then you must not get stuck to any Guru or yogi. Those who are seeking truth need not follow any Guru or any teaching.

Yoga Vasistha says:~ Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only by means of inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.

There is no need to condemn Gurus, but there is a need to highlight how they become an obstacle in realizing the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.

Swami Vivekananda said: ~ “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”

The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.

A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.  

There is no need to surrender to the ego because you are the ego. Without the ego, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The ego is the basis of the world in which you exist. The ego, you, and the world appear together and disappear together.

Surrender is the religious and yogic fable. How can the ego surrender to itself? How can the ego surrender to the religious God, which is not God in actuality?

All such claims are possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. In reality, no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

When there is no second thing, that exists other than consciousness surrendering to anything that belongs to the illusory universe is ignorance.

Remember:~

Truth realization is true surrender. The form, time, and space are made out of single stuff and that single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is real and the form, time, and space are mere an illusion created out of consciousness. By realizing consciousness as ultimate reality is the Truth realization or Self-realization or God realization.

The eternal truth within the universe (mind) and it is without the universe (mind). Direct knowledge of the Self can be acquired by one through the Self while realizing the Self. Self-realization is the essence of human existence. Where there is unity, one without a second; there is the world of nondual reality. The nondual truth is the ultimate truth. And the ultimate truth itself is God. ~Santthosh Kumaar
