A long update but SO SENSIBLE: The DIFFERENCE between being RELIGIOUS and being SPIRITUAL!!!! PSYCHOLOGISTS believe that depressed and hopeless people are the easiest prey. When you are in trouble or under stress, you are unable to think clearly. People start looking for instant solutions and they get drawn to the fake promises of these godmen. WHY DEVOTEES NEVER DOUBT THEIR GURUS? “Believe in the guru wholeheartedly. Do not doubt or question,” is the first lesson people receive at ashrams. A true devotee, they declare, is one who follows everything the guru says. They are introduced to the baba’s ‘divine powers’, which are often explained through statistics and ‘scientific reasoning’. Everyday people sing bhajans celebrating the godman. This creates an environment that deludes devotees into accepting each word of the saint as the final truth. They begin to see God in the godman.
