[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 170370, member: 4990"] This path towards the original home of Soul, going back Home is full of illusion doorways. Just like a turtle hatch-lings heading towards the ocean, are often full of predators to swallow them. Following Living Gurus, Babas, Deras and 'Sants' are the illusion. Such babas are NOT willing to put their lives at stake in order to uphold the basic truths of Soul. They are more comfortable living off other people's wealth by selling them their state of the art presentations. To them, "a sucker is born every minute" holds very true. Shabad Guru never changes the words. The wisdom therein is here forever and will remain the same throughout eternity. So follow no illusionary path. Guru is within.
