There is no dearth of information in world. One can access every kind of information with the help of technology, so much data, so much knowledge available of practically everything, all kinds of sciences, technologies, how to do this or that everything available.
After all what's the use of so much information if there is no transformation in heart and mind, and man continues to behave like an animal. Knowledge is meant for transform the person. I remember When I was in hostel, there also lived many scholars who were doing their PhD, but I observed their lifestyle they were so addicted to smoking and drinking, in fact some of them would visit brothels, I was bewildered by seeing these things, I was thinking they are scholars and they must be having some knowledge of what's right and what's wrong but no...so I concluded material education will teach you how to earn and stay alive but not how to live with morality.
Many so called spiritual societies also provide knowledge and information but authenticity of that you can see by transformation and behaviour of followers, material information won't make any transformation as well as speculative scriptures and religions too. I would observe one lady who was big preacher of particular spiritual group, she would give powerful classes to become happy and mesmerised peoples, but her personal life was horrible, she was miserable in her family life, she wouldn't treat and care for her kids and husband properly, but she would make a nice show of her happiness, I realised she was hypocrite she was not practicing what was she speaking, and there are so many like this, thy are sharing their information without practical transformation of their own heart.
Authentic scriptural information(as given in Gita and Bhagavatam) has potency to make transformation, long ago there was a hunter named Mrigari, he would enjoy killing of animals and would like to see their sufferings. When he was preached by Narada in devotional matters, he followed Narada's words, soon his heart was transformed. Once he was running to offer obeisances at the feet of Narda but while running he was concerned about hurting an ant. The person who enjoyed killing previously now was concerned about small ants, that's the transformation due to power of Bhakti. In conclusion my appeal to you is that give up following speculative and unauthorised spirituality but take a shelter of guru who is coming in the proper parampara(discipline succession) learn from him, follow him, then there will be positive result else it will be only time and energy wastage.
