Guru devoid of Knowledge, who indulges in falsehood and who
is full of vanity should be abandoned. Because when he is not able to
find peace for himself, how is he to bestow peace on others?
What special knowledge has a stone in saving other stones
from drowning? If it cannot swim across the river by itself; how can it help
other stones to swim across?
They (such Gurus) are not at all fit to be worshipped whose
reasoning creates painful delusion. Such Gurus should be abandoned from a
distance. One should take refuge only in the self-realized ones.
Imposters, habitual sinners, atheists, those who are of the
different temperament, slaves of woman, evildoers, ungrateful, rougish, those
fallen from Karma Marga, cruel, who indulge in vain discussions, sensualists,
those who are angry, violent, unyielding to reasoning, devoid of knowledge,
great sinners, crooks , fools, such
Gurus should be avoided; and one should only take refuge in
the Self realized Guru with single minded devotion and discrimination.
Guru Gita
