We have seen many living saints lately, and we have seen problems that come
with their organizations. Individually, may be he or she does not have any ill
intention towards his or her followers. The most common problem is when a Spiritual
Organization grows bigger and bigger, certain group of people tend to take
advantage of the situation. They might create their own set of rules saying:
The Master or Baba (or whatever holy names they are using) wants you to do this
and that......Some of them even commercialize the whole things (selling
pictures, piece of the holy man's clothing, etc) leading to individual
worshiping.
Even a true living saint should realized that he or she is only a Facilitator
of God, The Beginning of Everything, not more than that. A true living
saint would teach and act as part of the Divine, not becoming the Divine
itself.
So, when You learn Meditation or other Spiritual practice from someone who
endorse other than Pure Unconditional Love, stay away! When you know your Guru
is saying things not in accordance of Divine Love & Lights about other
method, other Teacher, for what ever reason, stay away.
Fear, being one of the most commonly used form of controlling, is frequently
used by these Gurus. Some of them might set a date as the end of the world and
ask you to do certain things. Historically, we have seen or heard of these
types, and none of them is true. They are only capitalizing on their followers
Fear. God himself never put a date when He is going to end all of this.
Religion, a certain Spiritual practice such as Meditation group or certain
belief system often uses Fear to control their followers. This is not entirely
bad, as long as it does not separate You as a Light Being and The One. If You
are in full consciousness that nothing could come between Yourself and
The One, then you are alright. God never use Fear to
control us. God radiates Pure Unconditional Love at all times
Fear only works for those who are not aware that we are all Light Beings
choosing to undergo human experience. After all, we are all part of The One, we
are all Light Beings that should live in Pure Unconditional Love.
