Bhagvatam says no one should be guru unless he can free his disciple from birth and death, But we see so many people on the name of spirituality fool their followers and followers also don't have commonsense to understand that they are being be-fooled. So here we will be discussing about 2 types of gurus Sadguru a true guru and Sad Guru a miserable one.
Sad means sorrowful ,unhappy due to unfulfilled expectations and desires ,there are so many so-called gurus in world especially in India they become guru as if they have started a new business and start looting disciples, disciples are also foolish that they happily spend their money on these bogus gurus and people thinking it to be Guru dakshina. But still they remain unsatisfied and dejected because they can't control their desires and always miserable(off course they show plastic smile on face), some of them are found to have illicit relations with their followers, so shameful.
How to know who is SadGuru ? Prabhpuad says a so- called guru will offer only material benefits,they will ensure their disciples that I am God and you can also become God,
So first criteria is to check guru is coming in proper parampara or not ? In December 2015 while distributing prabhpuad books we met with one person who started telling us that how Narad Muni is God ( by the way none of scriptures say like that),then he told us my guru is about to become God soon, we started laughing by hearing this new philosophy but he was serious we were just thinking how this poor fellow is totally brain washed by his so-called guru that he is taking Narad muni as God and preaching this philosophy fearlessly. What is the jihadi and terrorist all about? Same thing, following a bogus person blindly.
Second criteria is that guru should have highest realization of God (Bhagvan) ,not that he is dedicated to Brahman or something else like material prosperity, so called guru keep talking of material prosperity and keep giving different mantras to their followers to recover material conditions of life also many of them are interested in some magic. only real guru can convince disciple that life is meant for self realizations not for material enjoyments.
Third criteria is that genuine guru has full faith in scripture(real scripture like Bhagvad Gita and Bhagavatam not concocted scriptures) that by serving God everything can be achieved,he is the best of all renunciate because he know how to use everything in service of God.
So don't jump into guru-disciple relationship blindly as Prabhpuad would say first examine guru, his life and teaching then follow him.
