People think that their physical Guru or Guru's grace guides them and they have surrendered to their Guru and it is the Guru’s responsibility such blind acceptance leads to hallucination. Those who think their physical Guru’s teaching the ultimate truth will never be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Sage Sankara: ~ "Though I wear these robes of a sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."
So, he wore a Guru's robe only for the sake of the ignorant. So, he was identified as a Guru with parampara by religious people. For the truth seekers, Sage Sankara is a Brahma Gnani.
Sage Sankara himself said: ~ “A Gnani "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).
Thus, it proves that the religious Gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.
Even Swami Vivekananda was Ramakrishna Paramahansa’s disciple. Swami Vivekananda himself said: ~ You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you; none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher, but your own Soul.”
The Guru is useless so long as the ultimate truth is unknown, and the Guru is equally useless when the ultimate truth or Brahman has already been known.
A Guru is needed in the religious and the yogic path. There is no need for a Guru to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Those who are stuck with the idea that without Guru and Guru's grace, it is impossible to get Self-realization are not seeking truth but stuck up to their orthodox ideas. Such mindset is unfit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. :~Santthosh Kumaar
