Ancient Indian Gurus v/s Modern Western Gurus

[Guest guest]

I find that there is a bias against any guru who is not yet dead. And

specially if that guru or thinker or mystic happens to be a westerner. I

find this in most of the email groups.

 

For example when I post something by Nisargadatta, nobody criticizes but

when I post a very similar quotation from a westerner, somebody will always

criticize.

 

This bias also seems to be responsible for westerners changing their names

to Hindu or Buddhist names!

 

I am of Indian origin, yet I find modern western spiritual writers very

refreshing, insightful, easier to understand and more effective than

Nisargadatta or Ramana. [The writings of the ancient Sufis and the

Buddhists are even more cryptic!]

 

It is human nature that a genius is never acknowledged in his own time. He

is only appreciated posthumously.

Pardon me, but your egos are showing.
