MAKE NOT A MOCKERY OF THE NAME YOU IN GREED AND GAIN DON

MAKE NOT A MOCKERY OF THE NAME YOU IN GREED AND GAIN DON 

🕉 Monasticism must not become a mockery through mercenaries infiltrating its ranks. Respect this grand Indian tradition of genuine renunciation and refrain from such pollution.

By calling oneself a sadguru one does not become so but indeed saddens hearts that earlier warmed up to the genuine guru who through Self-realisation brought in the glad tidings of the transcendental. By calling oneself a rishi one does not become so but lowers the prestige in popular eye of such an exalted state of realisation.

The very word 'Shree' is hallowed. To double it up to dual advantage is detrimental to divine discourse. And now to amend it further to suit market requirements. Ah, what a heresy of verbal arrangement! Now there are gurus galore and the gullible by the hordes to gobble up such garbage that goes in the name of grand spiritual discourse and grandiose association. Oh India, return to roots!

Names carry weight, meaning, intent and inspiration, and must not through abuse be rendered profane. Hence, it is incumbent upon us to revisit the writings that carry the pristine principles of the Sanatan Dharma, the Shastras, if we are to 'shake off this sterile curse' (Shakespeare -- Julius Caesar) and move on to greener pastures where life hereon may as yet flourish. 🕉
