The seeker has to focus his attention on the self
or Atman, which is in the form of consciousness. Thus
glorifying gurus’ form is erroneous, because the body and the universe are a myth
on the ultimate standpoint.
Thus, indulging glorifying and worshiping of myth becomes the greatest obstacle in the pursuit of truth. Thus the seeker has to identify the soul, the innermost self as guru and proceed in his spiritual endeavor. The inner grace of the inner guru (self) will guide until the ignorance disappears and one realizes the body and the universe are a mere mirage created out of the consciousness, which is the true self.

Religious or yogic gurus propagate that, once a
seeker identifies a Guru, he must totally surrender to the Guru and then from
there onwards, the spiritual journey is fully the Guru's responsibility, not
his... Hence the importance of choosing the right Guru is necessary, but in
pursuit of truth, the guru is not necessary, because the truth is not
theoretical. Truth has to be ascertained by the seeker on his own
through a well-directed inquiry, analysis, and reasoning based on the true self,
which will lead the seeker to his destination.
People who worship the Guru as God in human form
and there is a danger that they might establish a regular religious sect in his
name. This is an unhappy development of the religious movement. All these Guru based paths are not meant for those who are searching ultimate truth or Brahman nothing but Brahman. the path of
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is nothing to do with physical Guru.
Hindu religious literature is full of such
aphorisms as ' there is no higher deity than the Guru; the Guru is the ultimate
Truth and Deity. God and Avatars (incarnations) are secondary
to the Guru in importance; there is no higher refuge, no higher target, no
higher destination than the Guru; the Guru is God Himself; God and the Guru
are one; he who makes a distinction between the Guru and God is
ignorant and stupid; and scores of similar others. They abound both
in Sanskrit and in modern Indian languages.
People born in different sect and they remain
as its follower. Most of the sect is founded by some gurus, thus the Indian
belief system is a Guru Cult, i.e. believes in the worship of the Guru as the
Supreme Deity.
When a seeker could not get full
enlightenment from his inherited belief system, then only he searches
elsewhere. And tries to get enlightened himself further to clear the cobwebs of
his understanding and seeks guidance to his progress.
The path of religion, the path of yoga and the path
of wisdom were intended for different classes of people. The wisdom is for the
advanced seekers of truth. It deals with the nature of the ultimate Truth and
Reality. It is meant for superior aspirants who have an inner urge to know the
truth and it is not for those who are immersed in earthly desires.
Remember:~
Remember:~
Human worship is barred in
Sanatana Dharma or Vedic religion. Ancient Sanatana Dharma or Vedic religion is
nothing to with Hinduism. Hinduism is a Group of caste founded by the different
founders of the castes with non-Vedic beliefs, personal Gods and rituals and
practices and scriptures and code of conduct.
If you are worshipping the
human being as God you are worshiping ignorance as God. If you are seeking
truth nothing but the truth you must restrain all such activates which blocks
your realization of the ultimate truth or Brahman or God.
On the Vedic perspective:
Those humans who get worshipped as God are nothing but frauds, because, Rig Veda:
~ May ye never turn away from the Atman the Self. May ye never accept another
God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)
Vedas bars human worship: ~
"They are enveloped in
darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest
depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material
cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship
visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and
the like) in place of God, are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other
words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow,
and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)
Then why worship and glorify
the Guru s and Yogis (human form) in place of God when Veda bars such
activities and it also warns people who indulge in such activities are
enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely
foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow and suffer terribly for a
long time.
No one has ever seen God by
practicing religion or yoga or indulging in glorifying the religious God and
Goddesses because God exists prior to the form, time and space. The form, time
and space cease to exist as a reality when wisdom dawns. Thus, the Gods and
Guru s have no place in the domain of the Advaitic reality. Advaita is the
nature of the Soul, which is the real God. Thus, Self-realization is the only
way to God-realization.
By worshipping the religious
Gods and Guru s one will not get Self-realization or God-realization.
The Soul, the inner Guru
revels ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and
ready. : ~
