There are thousands across the globe who will stand up and say that they were fooled by a spiritual guru. Why is all this happening? Why are the spiritual gurus corrupt? If you look at the biographies of the spiritual heads who appear on television these days, you will find that most are those who failed in their physical life and so took upon the saffron robe for name, fame, money or all of them. These are not corrupt people, they are just clever businessmen into the ‘business of spirituality’—we all know that businesses are run on lies.
Unfortunately, the ‘science of spirituality’ is a polar opposite. You cannot even enter (leave alone progress or pass on the science) spirituality till the time you lie. Satya or truth is the first yama as given by sage Patanjali, others include non-collection, non-stealing, non-violence and celibacy. These are elementary purifications essential for opening the energy channels (or nadis) to access the realm of energy. One who does not practice these cannot give you the experience of spirituality even if he wants to, because one can only offer what he has and it is not possible to have that experience till the time you are tied in maya. Our ancients knew this and have clearly laid it down in the texts that in the age of kalyug (which is now), spiritual gurus will become corrupt and sell the vedas for personal gains, rendering the ancient sciences ineffective. It is the order of the yug…because in present times, there is hardly anyone who wants yog or spiritual growth. Everyone wants a solution to their physical problems and it is for this reason that they go to a spiritual guru. It works on the law of demand and supply, you create a demand and so there is a supply in all shapes, sizes and accents.
When I tell people that they have to choose between the physical (the unreal) and spiritual (real), they say that they can walk on both the paths simultaneously. I have been a student of yog for nearly two decades now, I am yet to see how that happens. One is the path to unreality (darkness), another to reality (light). There can be no light where there is darkness, there can be no darkness where there is light. You have to choose–darkness or light and yog is the journey from darkness to light. If you want simple physical desires to be fulfilled then basic sanatan kriya is enough...you need not come to me, come to me only when you want freedom from the cycle of birth and death and want to experience the real world...the final reality, light.
To come out of darkness into light, first of all you have to accept that you are in darkness, if you think that you are already in light then what are you searching for? You should be spreading this light....Ego of you being in light has to be got ridden off first, it’s only when your guru would dissolve this ego that you will realise that you are in darkness...darkness of your ego.
