Hare Krishna,
Cheaters are
always there to manufacture their own way of spiritual realization. To get some
material benefit, the conditioned soul approaches these pseudo sannyäsis and
yogis for cheap blessings, but he does not receive any benefit from them, either
spiritual or material. In this age there are many cheaters who show some
jugglery and magic. They even create gold to amaze their followers and their
followers accept them as God. This type of cheating is very prominent in
Kali-yuga.
If Guru is required,
why not interact with the best man? If we require others to understand
ourselves, why should we not seek the best man for our own understanding? We
should receive help from the man who knows. If you take the advice of one
who can give you the right direction, your end will be glorious.
Connect to Bona fide
Spiritual Guru, Connection with Bhagavan Sri Krishna is guaranteed!
Acharya
Vishvanätha Chakravarti Thäkura describes the real guru:
saàsära-dävänala-léòha-loka-
träëäya
käruëya-ghanäghanatvam
präptasya
kalyäëa-guëärëavasya
vande guroù
çré-caraëäravindam
One should
approach a guru who can extinguish the blazing fire of struggle for existence
in this material world, the color of gold is compared to the will-o'-the-wisp
or yellow stool; therefore one should not be allured by gold-manufacturing
gurus. One cannot become happy by accepting a false guru. A guru should be
accepted as advised in Srimad-Bhägavatam (11.3.21). Tasmäd guruà prapadyeta jijïäsuù çreya uttamam: One should approach a bona fide guru to
inquire about the highest benefit of life. Such a guru is described as follows: çäbde pare ca niñëätam.
Such a guru does not manufacture gold or juggle words. He is well versed in the
conclusions of Vedic knowledge. He is freed from all material contamination and
is fully engaged in Krishna's service.
If one is able to
obtain the dust of the lotus feet of such a guru,
His life becomes successful and attains the ultimate goal of life.
Otherwise,he is
baffled both in this life and in the next.
Keeping in touch with Krishna forever,
Servant of
Krishna,
Jagannath
