How Fake ‘Gurus’ Take Advantage of the Vulnerable
Are you looking for enlightenment or miracle cure?
It is an unfortunate fact that not everyone is ready for what life has to offer. Rarely anyone ever is. Life can often get us in a position where we feel we can’t get out, and we start to become desperate as we look for ways out.
It gets to the point where we start to believe things we typically wouldn’t, such as the so-called “miracle cures”. I’ve had too many friends fall for such a thing, even when I and many other friends are telling them to think things through.
My problem with these gurus in general, is their habit of preying on the weak and the vulnerable. While we all could use some help every now and then, I would recommend therapy over anything a guru might have to share, since the trouble with most spiritual “teachers” is that they make use of so many examples out there that don’t necessarily apply to your unique situation.
The trouble with enlightenment
While I’m not against anyone claiming to have reached enlightenment — even if it might pull up a few red flags — I’m generally against those who try to push their methods to others. The human body is complex; the brain unfathomably so.
