Whole world follows religious traditions but they are just dead paths and create illusions in name of spirituality.
Take a look at the discourse by Guru Purna in image and translation on right.
Pseudo-spirituality is born out of knowledge.
When a guru dies, his philosophy turns into knowledge which later translates in illusions in name of spirituality.
Knowledge is vision without consciousness, but without consciousness how you can view !
Vision means knowledge with consciousness.
Knowledge without consciousness is like a corpse.
Therefore knowledge is rotten, stinking and one who carries knowledge becomes a living corpse, has no journey, never develops.
But the mind craves knowledge because knowledge does not lead to any transformation.
Transformation seems painful to the mind, feels like death.
Therefore, Only those can be transformed who can leave their mind .
But you can never leave the mind with knowledge, on the contrary the mind grows with knowledge.
Consciousness is needed to leave the mind and only a living person has consciousness.
Only a small number of people who have trust in a living Guru, are transformed due to this situation.
But all the rest die without living, just carrying the burden of knowledge.
— Guru Purna Vistar.
Today in this world, there is no lack of motivational speaker priests who claim knowledge of scriptures , doctrines of religions and all methodology as communicated directly by god.
But such people often stand exposed in various inappropriate or even illegal activities.
Hence, This is a great reason why people in west are leaving religions.
Nothing attracts modern man in religion especially in societies where education and resources are more easily available leading to better scientific observation and intellects.
Moreover, one can easily observe the shallow existence of religious preachers.
All religious preachers, missionaries, religious leaders and priests are carrying burdens of false spirituality.
And, none of them are creative people, nor are they conscious.
And this is inevitable after death of an alive Guru .
Then, begins a series of hypocrite successors who are only power seeker corrupt politicians.
Interestingly, masses live in illusions in name of spirituality so, masses are attracted to proponents of pseudo spirituality.
Masses never evolve due to this reason.
As a result, world is uglier and genocides, war crimes, destruction and vandalism goes unabated.
And the person who is too much into scriptures, religions , religious traditions and trendy things like Yoga – without an alive Guru will never be able to visualise the truth and will die in misery.
So, only an alive Guru can be the answer to the spiritual search.
Trust on alive Guru is most important matter in spiritual search just like a child trusts his/her parents in initial phases of life.
