[God Datta shall not be blamed for destruction of family bonds. If destruction is kept as goal, at least, the excess fascination to family bonds is eliminated, which is weakening the family bonds. By this, sins can be controlled, which are responsible for the miseries in the worldly life. By this, worldly miseries are eliminated. Not only this, the excess fascination to worldly bonds itself gives misery, when such bonds meet untimely death or such bonds become spoiled. For example, Dhrutarashtra was shocked with misery when his issues met untimely death. He underwent lot of misery when those issues didn’t listen his advice and got spoiled. If his bond to issues was not very strong, he would have not faced such misery. He allowed gambling so that his issues become more rich and this clearly shows the fascination being responsible for the sin. The sinful money earned destroyed the issues finally and thus the goal was not achieved. Today, we find that the excess fascination is responsible for doing corruption as in the case of politicians and many employees. When the wife of king Aja (grandfather of Rama) met untimely death, he was attacked by heart disease and committed suicide. Hence, reduction of fascination to family bonds, which can be achieved only on keeping the elimination as goal, is clearly good in avoiding the worldly miseries and therefore, Nivrutti, in the beginning stage is based on the selfish benefit only.]
[Except the devotion to God, no other way is effective even to achieve Pravrutti and hence, Nivrutti is preached to every human being from the childhood itself (called as Upanayanam) for the worldly welfare of the soul only. One shouldn’t fear that the devotion will eliminate worldly bonds, which is very very rare, happening to one in millions and for that one too after millions of births only. Therefore, the blame that Datta will destroy worldly bonds is totally false. In fact, God Datta gives materialistic benefits of such high order that nobody can imagine. For example, He gave boon to king Kartaviryaarjuna by which the king appeared before any citizen as soon as the citizen thinks to do the sin! This was higher than even the administration of Rama in which a complaint after reporting only was attended. But, king Rama was the incarnation of God Datta and He did the administration in a normal way within the limits of human capabilities to be ideal for ordinary human kings. This boon given by God Datta shows that God Datta is not for destruction of materialism.]
[Apart from materialistic boons, the spiritual knowledge given by God Datta shall be grasped. Otherwise, ego will destroy the soul as in the case of Kaartaviryaarjuna. Had Kaartaviryaarjuna grasped the spiritual knowledge of God Datta, he would have not been destroyed by God Himself in other form called as Parashurama. The wonderful boon was like the horrible poison that was produced from the churning of Sea, which can’t be sustained by any human being except God in the form of Shiva. The spiritual knowledge is like divine nectar that helps everybody to become immortal. Hence materialistic benefits, especially associated with miraculous powers are not to be desired by devotees from God since God will take care of the soul by granting requirements in the times of necessities. When the soul gets materialistic benefits and especially miraculous powers from God, spiritual knowledge is necessary to protect him from ego and ambition like the insulating material necessary for an electrician to save him from electric shocks.]
[The misinterpretation of the real nature of God Datta is illusionary force called as Maya. This Maya propagates that devotion to Datta will destroy all your family bonds. By this wrong propagation, people will go away from Datta so that people after becoming devotees will not get extensive materialistic boons by which they become egoistic and get destroyed finally. The actual aim of Datta is that the soul becomes vexed with the over enjoyment of excessive materialistic pleasures and get detached from the worldly attractions. If you lock a person in a room provided with a big vessel of sweets so that the person continuously consumes sweets only and become reluctant to sweets. This stage can be found after opening the room after a few days. Hence, Datta is called as reliever from worldly attractions by providing over worldly pleasures (Bhogamokshapradah).]
[Moreover, Datta is not responsible for weakening or elimination of worldly bonds because neither He has such intention nor He acts towards that effect. It is the quality of the attraction to his wonderful personality. The Divine nectar will not act in the direction to reduce your attraction for Coffee. It is the quality of the taste of Divine nectar and your negligence to Coffee is due to your action of tasting the Divine nectar. Neither God nor the Divine nectar is running after you since you are only running after these divine items. We are only advising you to keep the destruction of bonds as your goal because by doing so you can achieve the Pravrutti-goal of weakening the excessive fascination to bonds so that you will not be touched by any misery anywhere. You are unnecessarily fearing that fixation of highest goal means spontaneous achievement of it by anybody!]
[One is advised to reduce the excess of fascination to worldly bonds and such reduction is for his/her safety only. This doesn’t mean that the soul is advised to escape from the responsibilities to the family bonds. The family bonds must be respected very well with all gratitude. One should be grateful to the family bonds of parents since both helped the issue in several ways. The parents also shall not expect anything in return from issues since they have cleared their debt. One shall also respect the life partner and issues because these bonds are created by God to clear the loan taken by the soul from them in the previous birth and escaped from repayment (Runaanubandha rupena pashu patni sutaalayaah). The Gita also says that one should perform the duties without excess of fascination (Niyatam kuru…, Niyatasyatu…, Prajahaati yadaa kaamaan…).]
[Generally, the fruits of the deeds done in this birth are exhausted in the heaven and hell so that the soul is not disturbed by the enjoyment of fruits of past deeds in the present birth. Hence, this earth (Martya loka) or first sub-world of Bhuloka is called as the place of deeds (Karma loka) to be done with full freedom without any disturbance of past deeds. Of course, this rule has some exceptions like: 1) God can interfere anywhere with the general rule in view of the immediate step required for the reformation of the soul. 2) Intensive deeds yield fruits immediately in this sub-world in this life itself. 3) When an animal or bird is killed by the butcher, it dies thinking that it will kill the butcher in the next birth and this is the meaning of the word Maamsa or Mutton. 4) The non-clearance of debts in this life needs the clearance in the next birth. Like this some exceptions to the general rule exist and the general rule covers a large percentage of enjoyment of fruits. In fact, the present birth is for the enjoyment of Praarabdha only, which is the essence of fruits of previous deeds only remaining (Karma Shesha) in the form of attitude (Samskaara or Vasana). This Praarabdha is the reason for the present birth. The fruits of deeds done by the influence of Praarabdha in this birth add to the list for future enjoyment called as Aagaami. When the soul goes to the upper world, it arrives with the balance of fruits to be enjoyed called as Sanchita. This attitude is homogenous in all these three forms unless the soul meets Satguru for reformation. Satguru meets if there is hope of reformation in the case of the soul. The doctor attends the patient for the treatment if there is a hope of recovery! Otherwise, the hopeless soul is condemned as demon. A very rare case like Vibhishana may get the divine fortune. God is not like the blind Dhrutarashtra to continue his paternal love on hopeless condemned children and such blind love is called fascination or Moha. In other religions also throwing such hopeless soul in hell forever is mentioned as said in the Gita (Kshipaamyaasurayonishu…). The human rebirth is sanctioned by God only to the soul having a trace of hope for reformation. Some religions don’t agree for human rebirth stating that this present human birth itself is final. This point is good for the soul to try seriously for reformation in this birth itself. In this concept every day is treated as a fresh human life as said in the Gita (Athachainam…)]
[There is difference between Guru and Satguru. Guru is a human devotee preaching spiritual knowledge and since he is purely a human being, there is every chance to err in preaching the concepts. Satguru is human incarnation of God and will never err because the human being- component is under the control of God-component as said in the Gita (Prakrutim svaamadhishthaaya…). But, the human devotees may easily err to mistake Guru as Satguru and vice versa. Therefore, the preaching of Guru or Satguru must be analyzed by you with the help of debates if necessary. The analysis will prove that every concept of Satguru is perfectly correct. Hence, Krishna, the Satguru asked Arjuna to analyze His entire Gita also before taking a decision (Vimrushaitadasheshena…). Even the Veda says that its text must be analyzed before taking correct decision (Vedaantavijnaanasunishchitaarthaah…). Shankara selected only analysis as the required quality out of scripture, analysis and experience (Sadasat Vivekah). Even the experience of a defective person may be wrong and the scripture also may be wrong due to insertions.]
[A Vedic ritual is called as samskaara (Samskriyate jeevah anena iti), which means that the soul is to be practically reformed in the deeds of his life through the ritual. For such reformation, knowledge is the basic step. The knowledge is transformed into practice by emotional force called as devotion. The very word Veda means knowledge. Knowledge doesn’t mean mere awareness. It means the deep special explanation. Such knowledge explained by the preacher alone gives the desired result regarding practical reformation of humanity. Even the prayers to God are not at all understood and hence, devotion to God is also not developed at all through the present rituals.]
[All the present theists are performing the Vedic rituals, but, they are doing all types of sins indicating absence of practical reformation, for which the reason is absence of realization through knowledge to be received in the rituals. This means that the rituals are mere wastage since the actual aim is not achieved. The reason for this is that recitation of the Veda is in unknown language (Sanskrit), which is done by the priests, who don’t explain the meaning since they themselves do not know the meaning being the blind reciting tape recorders!]
[These priests are doing the sin of suicide because they are killing their own spiritual welfare also by spending so many years in blind recitation of the scripture, which is already printed and protected from insertions. By such blind recitation for a long time spending all the valuable childhood, their brains have become mechanical and inert machines. The childhood is the precious time for developing the analytical faculty through learning, which is totally snatched away in the case of these unfortunate priests. Their brains are fully filled with total ignorance and ego to create false meaningless traditions, which masked the true traditions of ancient sages. The present generations are leftover with these blind traditions forced on them. These traditions are forced on us since our weakness for materialistic benefits was exploited by these priests since they have directly linked the materialistic boon to the performance of the ritual saying that the sound of the scripture itself has miraculous power to grant the boon! We are exploited by such theory and perform these rituals blindly. This theory of priests is developed so for the sake of earning livelihood by the priests. What is the use of such selfish and demonic life that displeases God! I am again and again appealing the priests not to look at My bitterness, but, to see My heart that is anxious about their true spiritual welfare, which will also give materialistic welfare, if God is pleased. The ritual must be performed as a seminar of knowledge and prayer to God with the knowledge of the prayer.]
[Sanskrit is divine language spoken by angels and also source of all Indian mother tongue- languages and shall be respected like grandmother. But, we should not misunderstand that Sanskrit is the mother tongue of God! God is omniscient and knows all worldly languages. It is good to learn Sanskrit so that we can understand the original intension of scriptures written by sages to avoid the misinterpretations without depending on others. If the audience is ignorant of Sanskrit, it is the duty of the priest to explain the meaning of the scripture in depth. The prayer songs after preaching knowledge shall be sung in mother tongue. The sages wrote the scripture in their mother tongue, Sanskrit. From this, we must understand the importance of mother tongue. Language is not needed for doing the work in rituals. While doing prayers, mother tongue is essential or at least the meaning of the prayer must be explained by priest. The prayers involve knowledge and devotion. A ritual is for knowledge, devotion and work to be done in sacrifice.]
[Suicide must be always avoided by any human being at any time in its life. This shows that such a human being is worse than animal and bird, which never attempt suicide. Hence, suicide is the climax of ignorance as said in the Veda (yekechaatmahano...) and the Gita (naatmaanamavasaadayet). One should not argue that atman means eternal soul and hence, it is not killing eternal self. Atman means that which expands to occupy space and awareness as well as body expand to occupy space (atati iti). Body is also the meaning of atman in Sanskrit. Awareness cannot exist independently without body and you can never use this word without body. This human life is given to you with a trace of hope for reformation through spiritual knowledge, which is the main aspect like education in college. Worldly life is secondary like hostel life. Due to problems in hostel, one will not leave the college! Similarly, one shall not kill this spiritual divine life for the sake of problems in worldly life. The worldly problems can be very easily solved like the hostel problems. One is giving over importance to small secondary things.]
[The basic essence of rituals is one and the same irrespective of religion, caste and gender. For example: the ritual Upanayanam means becoming close to God by singing sweet prayers. This basic essence is present in all religions, castes and genders. Putting three threads is superficial symbolism only indicating that God mediated by three qualities must be only worshiped. Everybody in the world is worshiping mediated God only and not unimaginable God. A saint throwing away this thread of mere symbolism is highly respected in Hinduism itself! Hence, extension of this symbolic ritual to all human beings by Swami Dayananda is only to wipe the tears of present generation. Otherwise, the present generation will be finding fault with God for doing injustice to the past generations. The past generations were not subjected to even a trace of injustice in view of the basic essence of the ritual. Even people of other religions are not affected at any time due to the impartial universal basic essence of rituals. Not only the ego of ignorant priests is to be removed, but also the jealousy of the affected parties must be eliminated totally to bring unity through knowledge of correlation.]
[The remarriage for issues is mentioned by the scripture without partiality to any gender (panchasvaapatsu naarinaam...). The soul and body with little difference in the external modifications are one and the same for both genders. There is no need of ego of one gender and jealousy of other gender. The pre-determination of defect decides the issue. Several advanced medical procedures are also available for the solutions. However, the importance of issue is only in Pravrutti and not in Nivrutti. The main point is the full consent of the life partner without any pain. Issues are not needed for the end rituals because the essence of these rituals is only prayers to God and sacrifice of some money to a deserving priest or devotee from the wealth of the departed soul. If both these were already done by the soul in its life, these rituals are not needed. Absence of these rituals for a saint confirms this concept. Saint is not by orange cloth, but, is by the attitude of sacrifice (the word samnyasa actually means sacrifice) and devotion to God. Gender of issue is meaningless since even the word Purusha means the awareness pervading in the body irrespective of gender (Puri shete iti) and doesn’t mean male only. Several factors are to be considered in deciding this issue in the context of each specific case. Generalization of any rule in all cases is not possible and in all cases partiality based on gender, caste and religion must be avoided as fundamental justice.]
[One shall not fast with forced effort by which God can’t be pleased since God is pleased by your devotion only and fasting is not related to His interest in any way. If you forget taking food due to your immersion in devotion to God, it is real fasting. Similarly, not sleeping due to the same reason is real awakening in night. One yogi called as Vema told that in fasting one is digesting the remains of excretion instead of eating food! The real meaning of Upavaasa is to become close to God and forget eating food by that (upa samipamasya vasati iti). The real essence is lost in every step of ritual and only superficial meaning remains like a body after the loss of life! This is the meaning of statement of Jesus that one need not fast when God (groom) is close to devotee.]
[Both extreme steps of fasting and overeating to pain the soul shall be avoided as said in the Gita (naatyashnatastu…, karshayantah…). Fasting gives weakness in doing ritual and overeating brings drowsiness. Even the Veda recommends light food in rituals (payo braahmanasya...).]
[Precautions must be taken in taking food: 1) It must be limited in quantity, but, high in quality. 2) It must be well cooked to eliminate bacteria and 3) It must be non-allergic to be known by test of a specific human being (mitam hutam hitam). The food must avoid three defects also: 1) Gas (vaata), 2) Damage of liver (pitta) and 3) effect of cold (sleshma). The food must be selected for the first quality and the other two qualities must be limited: 1) Sattvam with neutral taste, 2) Rajas with salty, chilly and sour tastes and 3) Tamas with killed taste due to long delay after cooking.]
[Sleep must not be lesser then 1/4 and must not be more then 1/3 of the duration of a day (24 hours). This sleep must be deep devoid of any dream. Dream comes for three reasons: 1) God may use it for communication with the soul. 2) The strong feelings of subconscious state of previous births may appear and 3) Some strong feelings from general conscious state of awakening of present birth may appear.]
[There is no need to lit oil light before God, who is the source of this total cosmic energy as said in the Veda (tameva bhaantam...) and the Gita (na tat bhaasayate...). The light is needed for your eyes only and hence no need to lit oil lights for God. This oil can be better used to lit the life-lights of poor people to make them learn knowledge and devotion. Similarly, burning sticks in the temple of Sai Baba is of no use since Baba used this to avoid venomous creatures in the old mosque. He will be really pleased if you donate these sticks to the poor to be used as fuel. Similarly, burning candle lights and camphor is of no divine significance.]
[The Veda says that even trace of food shall not be wasted (annam na parichakshita). Hence, burning ghee in physical fire, pouring milk in snake abodes, pouring milk etc., on statues etc., are against the Veda. Worship of statues is useful for the beginners to improve theoretical devotion as worship of representative models of God (pratika upaasanam) even though God does not exist in inert items as per the Veda (na tasya pratimaa...). In the worship of statues, bath with water and decoration with flowers etc., are allowed for more attraction of vision. Even offering food is accepted to improve theoretical devotion, but, not its wastage.]
[The Ramayanam mainly stands for justice in sex (Kama). The Mahabharatam mainly stands for justice in wealth (Artha). Both these deal with worldly life in which justice (non-violence) as a separate category also dealt as reflected by hectic trails for avoiding war through the message of Hanuman and Krishna respectively. The Bhagavatam stands for Nivrutti or divine life of climax devotees. Whatever practiced by Rama is explained by Krishna in the Gita. A human being shall follow this only. This was practiced by Krishna everywhere in His entire life also except in Brundavanam (stealing and dancing). Rama is like a professor in college in which only Pravrutti was dealt like teaching in classes. Krishna is like a professor in University in which additionally Nivrutti was also dealt like guiding research students. Brundavanam is like research laboratory present in the university. Without passing through teaching in classes, research is not possible and hence without passing through Pravrutti, Nivrutti is not possible since Pravrutti-path is only an initial part of the same Nivrutti-path.]
[The entire sin is reflected in the punishment. Duryodhana showed cheating in gambling and force in insulting Draupadi. The punishment is the end war reflecting force and cheating in killing reflects cheating. Ravana stole Sita by cheating in disguise and by forcing her. The end war indicates force and killing Ravana by arrow hitting the stomach (arrow shall hit above the chest only) indicates cheating. The Veda and the Gita say that God will reflect to every form and God will approach you in the same way in which you approached (Rupam rupam pratirupo babhuva…, Ye yathaa maam...). Jesus also told that you will reap the same what you sowed. Science also says that every action will have equal and opposite reaction.]
[God will always answer all your statements made in doing sin while He gives punishments. Duryodhana told that even place occupied by the tip of a needle will not be given to Dharmaraja. After his cremation, a strong wind came and all the ash of his body was blown away. Then, Krishna told that Duryodhana is not having a place occupied by even a tip of needle on the earth! Similarly, Dhrutarashtra being the king has the power to give kingdom to Pandavas. But, he told Krishna that his son is not listening to his advice. At the end, he was surrounded by fire in the forest and prayed Krishna for protection. Krishna appeared and said that the fire is not listening His advice for self-pacification! Hence, one shall not use strength and over-intelligence to cheat good people. Both these are created by God only to be used in the case of bad people to protect justice. Krishna used cheating in the war against bad Kauravas to protect good Pandavas. Hence, one shall not do the sin to harm good people.]
[When you earn from bad people by force and cheating, you shall neither enjoy it nor give to your family, which will destroy you and your family. That shall be given back to the good people, who lost it or donate to God, who will spend it in proper way for the welfare of poor and humanity in general. Pandavas won the kingdom with the help of Krishna only. But, after the war, Krishna didn’t stay there even for one day and returned to His place stating that He has to go back for the sake of administration of His kingdom. Actually, Dharmaraja requested Krishna to stay there for some more time. The actual intention of Krishna to return immediately is not to enjoy the fruit earned by cheating a cheater, which shall be passed over to the affected innocent party.]
[Traditions shall not be followed blindly everywhere. Dharmaraja accepted gambling since elder Dhrutarashtra invited and he followed the tradition that one shall obey the words of elders. By doing so, Dharmaraja was subjected to lot of suffering for long time. Similarly, Bhishma fought on the side of bad Kauravas since he made the foolish promise that he will protect the king, good or bad. Due to this, he was killed and suffered on the arrow-bed. The tradition is that one shall not break the promise. Krishna also promised that He will not use any weapon in the war. But, when the necessity came, He broke His promise and lifted a wheel to be used as weapon. Similarly, Kunti followed Dhrutarashtra and Gandhari to the forest and was burnt in fire along with them. The tradition was to serve the elders in their old age. All these traditions are good provided Dhrutarashtra, Duryodhana and Gandhari were good people.]
[Logical analysis is always to be applied, which is not related to education, but, is related to common sense. Hence, propagation of knowledge shall be done even to uneducated people, who have the capacity of very good logic based on common sense and observations of world. Sometimes uneducated person is better than educated person due to absence of over-intelligence! An uneducated person was walking and his foot touched excreted material. Doubting it so, he rubbed his foot on the ground and walked away. Only his leg was spoiled. In the same situation, an educated person wanted to confirm his doubt and took it with hand. By rubbing it with fingers, his doubt was confirmed due to its pasty nature. He wanted to confirm it by smell also and touched it with nose. Now, he was fully satisfied. But, his foot, hand and nose were spoiled! Hence, continuously doubting in every case due to over-intelligence is also not good.]
[Till the truth is found out, lot of logical analysis is required. Once, the truth is established, logical analysis must be stopped and implementation of the knowledge (Jnana Yoga) with firm determination (Bhaktiyoga) in practice (karma yoga) shall be done to achieve true fruit. If one continues in doubting and analyse only throughout the lifetime, the soul is leftover in the path only doing endless circular rotational and theoretical journey! Knowledge (Sattvam) is very essential basis, but, devotion (Tamas) and practice (Rajas) are also needed after the basic step. For millions of births, sages spent their lives in knowledge to decide the truth that human incarnation of God is the ultimate available goal. In their last birth as Gopikas, they were uneducated stopping the step of knowledge and implemented the knowledge in practice with full determination avoiding continuous analysis. Paramahamsa also told that Jnana Yoga is the list of items prepared, which is of no use after purchasing the items from the shop.]
[Homosexual trend is against ethical and spiritual knowledge as observed some times in animals. It shows the fascination for a body having the same skin and flesh already possessed by you as said by Shri Satya Sai Baba. One shall crave for a thing not possessed by self! The hetero sex is justified for the extension of humanity. The homosexual feeling of even sages on seeing Rama indicates only the unimaginable climax-beauty of Rama. Even those sages liked to embrace and kiss Rama by becoming ladies through their miraculous power and this is justified hetero sexual trend. Sperm may leak naturally, but, should not be ejected by forcible methods.]
[Abortion by force is against justice since the chance given by God to live full life is taken away. One shall not argue that the longevity of the baby is only that much as destined by God. It is true that the baby has only that much longevity and abortion will take place naturally even otherwise without forced effort. But, this fact can’t cancel your sin since your intension and action are separate without any connection with this truth. If one believes this truth, one can wait for such natural abortion and there is no need to attempt for forcible abortion. You shall not argue that your thought to do forced abortion is also the will of God. In such case of over-intelligence, by the same rule, you shall also agree that the punishment given to you for that sin is also the will of God! Over-intellectuals say that even ant bites by the order of God only and kill a living being! Such people shall agree the same while undergoing the punishment of the sin by the order of God only! The baby in the womb has awareness unlike the plant and hence this is the greatest sin since violence by killing is the climax of injustice.]
[You shall not sacrifice animals to please God since the creator is both Father and Mother. The parents will undergo shocking pain for the cruel killing of their issues. Since you are killing birds and animals, mother-earth is shocked as indicated by earthquakes. Since you are killing the living beings in water, floods and cyclones are seen, which indicate the over grief of father-ocean. Killing a living being having awareness just for food can’t be justified in anyway and this is the main philosophy of God Buddha. Today, science also recognized the existence of pain waves!]
[One shall not worship a temporary statue of God (like Ganesha) made by materials like earth, plastics etc., by initiating life in them (Praanapratishthaa) because at the end of worship you are expelling life (Udvaasana) and merging the dead body in lakes and rivers causing problems of pollution and decrease of depth of water. Such worship was done by Ravana everyday by preparing Shivalingas by soil and merging them in water subsequently. As a result of this, Ravana was destroyed along with his family. The life initiation is meant for permanent statues made of stones in temples. The statue of Ganesha can be made by stone and preserved for every festival for the sake of worship. You shall never think that you have given life to God. The idea of life initiation is only that your next step shall be worship of human incarnation, which is inert statue with life initiated. You should also never say goodbye to God (Udvaasana) from the statue, which is insulting God. Don’t think that God comes by your invitation (Aavaahana) and goes by your goodbye. All such ideas are nasty for true devotion. You must continuously invite Him and never ask Him to go or attempt to take away the life from His body to immerse it as the dead body in water resembling the funeral done to dead human beings.]
[Sin must be identified from the nature of the punishment and God should not be blamed for the given punishment since its aim is only reformation. After war, when Rama scolded Sita, she recognized her sin done to Lakshmana and asked Lakshmana to keep the fire ready for her entrance. By this, her intension was that she should receive the punishment from the hands of Lakshmana. When Sita was sent by Rama to the forest as the last part of punishment for the same sin, she realized the sin through the punishment of sinful false blame. She did not become angry with Rama, but, prayed God so that Rama shall be her husband in all the future births (Tvameva bhartaa nacha viprayogah). This will be the attitude of a realized soul towards punishment of sins given by God.]
[Guru or preacher is the human being and knows true knowledge only, which is not complete. Of course, partial true knowledge is only necessary for a set of devotees existing in a specific stage in the spiritual journey. Hence, the preaching of Guru is also necessary in view of the initial stage of beginners. Due to this reason, God encourages the system of Gurus. Only false Guru (Asatguru) or atheist is condemned since his knowledge is false and incomplete. Guru is theist with partial true knowledge exactly required for a certain initial stage of devotees. True Guru (satguru) knows complete true knowledge and comes in contact with the devotees of final stage. Gurus are like blind people touching different parts of elephant and claim that part as the total elephant. One touching the stomach says that elephant is like a wall. Another touches leg and says that the elephant is like a pillar. Another touches the tusk telling that elephant is like a huge cylinder. Another touches the tail saying that the elephant is like a rope. Every knowledge is true, but, partial! Asatguru moves his hands in space saying that the elephant is nothing (false) like vacuum and he doesn’t realize that even the space to be infinite (incomplete knowledge)! This knowledge is not only false but also partial. The Satguru adds all these parts of knowledge of Gurus in proper places and gives the total picture of the elephant and such knowledge is true and complete.]
[You must respect Guru by giving some offering to help him in his worldly life. Gurus are helping you in every stage like the announcers in various stations for further journey (Aativaahikas). You must not criticize the personal life of the guru since you are concerned only to his preaching for your right direction. If his personal life is wrong, he will be punished by God. A smoker shall take the advice of doctor and shall not continue smoking by blaming that the doctor being a smoker is not eligible to advice others. The patient is limited to only the prescription of doctor. If doctor is a smoker, he will be also ruined. Sometimes, Satguru, human incarnation of God, like Sai Baba may appear with smoking. Nothing will happen to Satguru and His smoking is only exhibited illusion to test your faith in Him! A person might be Satguru, whom you are thinking as Guru!]
[A Guru shall never hide his Personal life to cheat the followers. Some Gurus appear to be detached from money and sex, which is hypocrisy or false exhibition. The Guru can ask for financial help frankly and can maintain wife for sex, which is inevitable logical need like hunger, thirst etc. The followers are concerned only to the direction given by the preacher in their spiritual progress and need not be concerned about financial desire, legal sex, normal thirst and hunger etc., of the preacher. A Guru shall never try for false impression, which will be revealed by God. The preacher with frank expression of facts is always respected by the will of God. A good preacher continues his spiritual service to humanity by keeping concentration on God and not on money because he feels that he is in the service of God and not in the service of human beings. God will take care of everything about the good preacher since God is omniscient and omnipotent.]
