All these religions have produced a great many saints, prophets and sages. If they had been born in Hinduism, in all probability they would have been deified in the same way as the founders of several Hindu sects. Hinduism has an ever increasing number of Avatars as and Gurus installed as God Himself, with the support and sanction of scriptures and teachings of saints and sages. Those saints and sages in the past introduced god and guru glorification and rituals for the mass who are immersed themselves in the worldly life and incapable of inquiring or not ready for pursuit of truth. God and guru glorification and rituals might also be regarded as harmful, as it might cause doubt and confusion in the minds of some seekers who strive with simple faith and earnestness to practise the discipline for self- realization. If one is seeking truth then this application of the theoretical philosophy is erroneous and improper. It has been instrumental in spreading sophistry and delusion in the guise of philosophy and direct realization, and must be abandoned. Isa Upanishad says: ~ Andharh tamah pravisanti ye Vidyam upasate, tato bhuya iva te tamo ya u vidyayarh ratah. “Into blinding darkness enter those who cling to ignorance, but into still deeper darkness go those, who flirt with knowledge. It is promotion of nescience with the help of scholarship to justify the worship of a mortal in lieu, of God. It makes no difference whether God is conceived as clothed with attributes (saguna} or as absolute attribute-less existence (nirguna). : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
