๐ป The Imposter - 1 ๐ป
The Father of creation is responsible for his children. Even if the children do not obey him, do not respect him, oppose him, reject him, still the Father loves them, benefits them, and is forgiving.
The Avatar is our real Father and remains responsible for each of us whether we want his help or not. His help never fails to benefit us, because he loves us. The Avatar has worked to make it possible for humanity to accept him as the Real Father.
There are now many seeking spiritual guidance, like children who seek the help of their father. But if a person seeking help accepts it from someone who is not his real father, but who poses as if he is his father, then that person seeking help will surely fall along the way.
How can someone show another person the way to the goal, when he himself has not found it? That person is posing, and he poses because he has selfish interests that only serve himself, and not the persons whom he supposedly is guiding.
These impostors are the false gurus, false saints, the false holy men now to be found almost everywhere. Today there are many such impostors in the world; they arise in both the east and the west.
They call themselves saints of God, holy men, miracle-workers, healers; some even call themselves perfect masters or avataras. They are fakes, as fake as artificial flowers that have no fragrance. They dazzle, they entrance, they hypnotize, but they cannot lead you to God.
In the west, these impostors are like wolves who prey upon the lambs of the Father. In the east, they are like serpents, poisoning the hearts of the sincere. Ordinary people are far better than the hypocritical false men of God.
Throughout the world, such impostors are collecting large numbers of followers, deceiving the simple-minded religious people and the spiritually-naive. They are simple because they are deceived, and they are naive because they believe these fakes.
They are attracted to the artificial flowers, the howling of wolves, and charm of serpents. They have no experience of the inner fragrance of the real saints or Perfect Masters.
They do not understand the significance of the Avatar's silence, and the natural flow of his love and mercy. People are satisfied and content with the shows of attractive appearance, the howling of wolves before a moon, and enchanting movements of snakes.

Though large numbers become followers of these spiritual posers, there is no spiritual gain in following such impostors.
On the contrary, there is a spiritual setback, since these impostors are attached to illusion, though they pose as if they are men of God. These impostors only show their followers other pathways into further illusion, instead of the path toward Truth. The pathways into deeper ignorance are religious rituals, ceremonies, orthodoxy, intellectual pride, dogma, superstitions, creeds, and so forth.
These are a source of deepening ignorance. Such pathways do not increase one's knowledge of the Reality of God, or the experience of God.
