Let us all accept religions are a philosophy, and philosophy is a branch of knowledge taught in educational institutions as any other subject listed in the syllabus.
Teachers in schools or professors in universities do not stick to any peculiar dress code or any particular hairdo to teach physics or philosophy. The self-proclaimed Gurus and Swami's are unqualified teachers of religion, so why do they need a typical paraphernalia to teach religion? Isn't it true that only professionals are allowed to wear a distinctive dress for people to spot them as a doctor in a hospital or a lawyer in the court? Similarly, people identify the wearer of ‘Holy Robes’ as a religious person mistakenly, even if, he is a rogue. This is how phony pretender’s trade faith deceitfully, under the cover of holy robes, they rob the gullible and lead a luxurious life as parasites on the earnings of the faith-followers. Religion is a lucrative business for the shameless liars and cheats. Even people with mental disorders do well, without any risk, and make a fortune, in the business of religion, a trait clearly visible in most Godman. Then why the government allows these scoundrels to live on tax-free benefits? They are the black sheep who are contaminating the ethics of Vedic heritage, with their turncoat theatrics, memorized and mechanical, repetitive and routine oratory. This is a social evil. Law must take strict action against Godmen, so that no one dares to befool innocent people any more in future. Now, the time has come, when a spiritual seeker will walk 'Alone' on his self-chosen, individual spiritual path, without seeking the help of Gods, priests, mullahs, pundits, gurus, baba or any self-proclaimed godman, prayers or chanting, or visiting places of worship, or reading holy books or scriptures, or performing rituals or offering sacrifices or following false religious beliefs or dogmas or superstitions with blind faith. I’m not a mystic or a philosopher, nor a wise man or a foolish person, nor a theoretician or a theologian, nor a scholar or an illiterate, nor inferior or superior to an average person on the street is. I’m not a god-man or a con-man. I’m a 'Common-man', and I’m a truth seeker who respects social norms and the rule of law. None of the highly advertised Baba’s or Swami’s or Guru's, in any way, are to be regarded as spiritual leaders. Only a common man among us is the one, people should look up to tag on. The world cannot have a real spiritual teacher until people are ready for him. So, don’t disbelieve a common man who reminds the world, at least read the message he wants to convey or else people are themselves to be blamed for their delusion. The only deliverance, the only escape is internal transformation, the change of one’s heart, only then peace and love will settle within and around
