Spiritual Shortsightedness 

-The Desire for “Gurus”  – Part1

I always wondered why so many kind beautiful minds stop too prematurely in their quest and settle for so called “gurus”.

Gurus are the anxious minds fixture insert to fill a  growing void. So called “Gurus” provide a hatch for these innocent troubled minds to close the void. With ashrams, persuasive speeches and rituals. Its a trance set forth that many get ignorantly trapped. It buys time away from their daily drama and hardships. But it actually takes away their time, for many-their lives are poured into the words of a single beings’ reflections, which is far from their own self’s awareness. It’s no different than taking pain killers giving momentary reprieve as you never were cured of the issue causing pain, and if you stop taking the pain returns. Such is the survival traps of such gurus and their programs.  Its sort of like spiritual outsourcing. Think about it we outsource almost all of the things we use, these gurus are such outsourcing of a mind’s ultimate quest. Jiddu K, spoke volumes on this. He was a great human being. The very nature of this setup is  a mistake against the unknown. A true teacher is like a good parent, who will serve you limitlessly, to take on life, and not consume you and become the focal point. Not sit on thrones, allow to be worshipped like deities, permit rituals on themselves as a spectacle. These are sickening to even imagine but happen. They will not permit these in any way, their ego will be under check and their acts of service will speak not their indulgent self vanity celebrations. All answers the mind seeks are everywhere, its in nature, its in good deeds, its in all people. When the student is ready the true and only teacher will appear. Be well. All Praise To The Unknown.
