Guru




...contd...


4. Fraud type -

These take advantage of people trusting them and cheat them off their belongings, trust, chastity and may even kill their so-called students to further their interests.  Your TV programmes will give umpteen cases of this type.

5. The Jealous Type -

Most insecure of all, these type feel jealous of their student's success.  These can really harm a student deeply.  "Swathikiran" - a telugu movie is a classic eg., of this type.

None of these types are wrong by themselves.  It is our fault to follow someone blindly without knowing them.  Our weaknesses forces us to go to such 'Gurus' who promise us to fulfill our desires.  That time we don't use our power of understanding to look at the methods these people use to reach the end.

"Wrong means can never get you right end".  Remember that always!

The description of 'wrong Gurus' is really worrying.  And after knowing that following a 'certain Guru'  can effect my janmas, how do I filter out these wrongs ones and get to select a right Guru?

What are the tests I can put a Guru to, to know he is a right one?

No one can fool anyone at all times.  He gives away himself unknowingly in every way.  If you are aware, you can catch a fake one easily.  You can separate the genuine from the crowd of fake ones.  But, the awareness is - for most of us clouded by our weaknesses and we can't see what is obvious. Then, what is the better way?

Simple!

Instead of 'filtering' the Guru's nature, type etc., just get into a 'student quality' in toto!  Now what is this - should be the next question? Right?
