Someone posing as a Gnani is not a Gnani. If someone poses himself as a direct disciple of some guru cannot be a Gnani. Those who pose themselves as Gnanis are not Gnanis.
A Gnani never poses himself as a Guru, a swami, a sadhu, a yogi, or some Guru’s disciple.
Sage Sankara clearly indicates in Viveka Chudamani (2):~ Knower of the Atman (A Gnani) "bears no outward mark of a holy man" (Stanza 539).
Select Works of Sage Sankara" also his commentary on Brihad: ~ “Though I wear these robes of a Sanyasin, it is only for the sake of bread."
So Sage Sankara 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.
Thus, it proves that the religious gurus and yogis are not Gnanis because they identified themselves as holy people.
Thus it proves that Sage Sankara meant, taking sanyasa and wearing the religious robes to earn bread. Sanyasa is not a qualification to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana
Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani)
~ ‘Then why stick to a Guru who is not a Gnani. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
