"Being religious or blindly following a religious guru (mentor) is completely based on one's faith. In such cases, the brain fails to exercise its questioning power. One prefers to follow the signals given by their gurus, even if it is without any logical reasoning.
Gone are the days when a religious mentor selflessly spread his knowledge of the supreme. Today, most of the religious mentors are driven by some force of selfishness. Every now and then we get to read about the so called 'gurus' who have cheated their disciples. Reports of gurus turning out to be fake are common these days. Under the shade of their saffron robe goes on activities like smuggling, skin trade and other scandals."
This is a quote from
One India, which makes it sound as though "spiritual" liars of the past were any different than the "spiritual" liars of today - they weren't - it's just that, with the internet and other means, there's more people watching what they do than ever before.
And they're fake - every one of them - as fake as the supposed "wisdom" they impart to their willing "followers". Which leads us to our opening "spirituality" lesson for today:
No one - absolutely no one - is better at fooling you than you are at fooling yourself.
