Why do You preach discouraging things like sacrifice of money and absence of rebirth?

[The Guru must always encourage the disciple. Your preaching of Karmaphala Tyaga discourages us. Further You state that this is the only human birth. This is discouraging us more and more.]

The Guru must encourage the disciple in the beginning by telling certain lies and such encouragement is not wrong. But the Guru should not continue the lies throughout the life of the disciple in the name of the encouragement. When the disciple is encouraged, he will serve the Guru with lots of love. The aim of the Guru should not be the service from the disciple and such a Guru is a fraud and selfish. The Sadguru must reveal the truth slowly to the disciple. The aim of the Sadguru must be upliftment of the disciple and not the service from him.
