Time and again.. seers fell to the ground.
Is it because they also belong to this very earth?
In the myth stories, we read about a muni sitting on top of the Himalayas bare-naked praying Lord Shiva. And God would be pleased at his tapas and sacrifice and grant wishes to the seers. But nowadays we see these so called seers almost in the same "tapas" postures in the internet. Please do not search for swamiji scandals over the net and you will certainly become an atheist.
Betrayal is the word for this act since there a lot of devoted guys following this muni (no sani!!). If Sachin gets out early, people feel betrayed. But thats sport. One cannot compare this heinous act to any other betrayal. These people who live double lives should not be in an ashram but in an asylum.
On the flipside, should the common man be blamed for all these mess? They always pay offerings to get the blessings. Paying a priest to do pooja is different - at least you get herbal smoke(?) around your home which can have a scientific backing. But paying just to see someone who does not entertain you (then) but only give aasirwadam (blessings) is absurd. People pay them offerings and their lifestyle grows - and so does their desire. Thus even if someone desires (ha ha ha) to become a sanyasi, people pull their legs down to earth. And to maintain the image, the seers will have to maintain their double face - only for some Batman to reveal the true identity!!!
Pity these guys! Instead of opening an ashram, these so called swami can promote afforestation, rain water harvesting, any NGO, etc. Direct their funds to the Government so that it reaches the people again. And not behave like a kid who licks his hand after taking it out of sugar bowl!
And it all can bear fruit only if the masses are diligent and mature.
And think of one question before believing someone is God - Why believe a guy who says he is not a guy???
