I like to have conversations with spiritual gurus whenever I get an opportunity because whenever I have a conversation with them there is something that tickles me from within and makes me think about the way I live my life. Having conversations with them is about learning something which is valuable for life. But not all Gurus are same and not every Guru practice what they preach. A Guru is a person who teaches spiritual and religious knowledge.
My last conversation was with a Guru was on the topic of detachment of material things and with people in life. It was at one of a very renowned temple in India. To be honest, I was not very impressed with him. The reason was while we were exchanging our thoughts on this topic, he kept showing me some of his expensive gifts that he had received from some of his followers. One e.g. was, he was gifted a Mont Blanc pen from one of his followers and I observed how he kept flaunting it. Then he was wearing some expensive watch which again was a gift to him from a follower.
This was not a sign of someone who is not attached to material things of life. So while he had some good things to share, I was not very impressed by him. I also felt that by showing off his things he was setting some expectation from us to gift him something. Because that's what the energy I felt coming from him. He kept bragging about his lectures and followers. He was actually a top professional guy who had later on in his life turned to become a spiritual guru. More then a spiritual guru talk I felt like I was listening to a marketing person who was trying to sell me something.
It was a little uncomfortable for me after a point because then he also started giving me and my hubby some of the religious things which we actually did not want. We did not want to disrespect so we took it, but then now my dilemma is how to discard it, because it is lying in the corner of my cupboard and I am never going to use it, and I do not understand how to dispose it also. Hubby was anyways annoyed with me that day, because he was not interested in sitting for the talk and I had forced him.
I do not expect a spiritual guru to quit on all worldly things and at the same time I do not expect a guru to be so attached to materialism. With him I felt like he was a full branded person with expensive things on him, which he was actually enjoying it.
