There was one more video of famous Kanchi Shankaracharya with his disciples showering gold coins over him, and also his so called ‘coronation’ ceremony as well.
Seeing all this a thought flashed through my head that, these people say world is an illusion, they consider stone,gold and soil as equal, they have shunned the world of Maya yet are using all the facilities created by the Maya.
I have also found it a hypocrisy. In fact if you really believe that the world is Maya then there is nothing to preach anything to anyone. The One was, is and will always be there. If there no ultimate reality of individual soul, then whom does one speak to, awaken, and who gets free from the illusory bondage? Most paradoxically to preach inaction by going around the world! But then people hardly think. They prefer believing and hence each one is best left to their beliefs.
Affectionately,
