More to the loss of time than anything else. However I did start reading Ramana and Vedanta whilst following the fraud guru, and that alone made it all worth it......... What I did find incongruous was that the fraud guru encouraged his so called advanced follower to read Godmans book 'Be as you are', which I was already reading anyway.........Cheers Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Dear All, Nisagargadatta is reported to have said " we need the bad gurus to keep the bad people away from good gurus. " Robert Adams said " that every Guru has his place, even the false ones, they may be stepping stones to true Gurus.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Dear All, Further thoughts. Sri Ganesan once told me that bad gurus are quite usual. Even Krishna is supposed to have had a false teacher purporting to be better than him as did the Buddha. Sri Ramana Maharshi had to put up with Perimal, and nowadays many so called 'teachers' flock to give satsang in Tiruvanamalai to bolster their image.

Alan Isn't it easy to forget, a teacher might not have human form? It can be the hill Aranachula or a statue in a temple. Certainly Lord Yama is in this category as well, the Kathopanishad leaves no doubt. No human teacher could supply the three boons given to Nachiketas, hence the Lord of Death might be considered the supreme teacher, no creature can avoid.
