There are still greater dangers in regard to the transmitter , the

Guru. There are many who, though immersed in ignorance, yet, in the

pride of their hearts, fancy they know everything, and not only do not

stop there, but offer to take others on their shoulders; and thus the

blind leading the blind, both fall into the ditch.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is much better to find one's own path to

reach God in whatever way a person desires, than to follow a Guru. A real Guru

is very difficult to find, even though, unfortunately, there are a lot of

devotees who receive diksha from their Guru and I have yet to find a person who

follows the criteria of Vedanta or the core of Hindu religion. All these people

are still narrow-minded, unkind and very attached to materials. I wonder what

the Diksha from a Guru did for these people. It is like school, where most

students fail, there is something wrong in the teaching method or the teacher.

 

Thanks for your attention.
