In the ashrams of almost all God-realized gurus, there are stories of hostile devotees. Recently, I covered the story of a disciple who dragged Maharshi Ramana to court. You can read it here. This video dives into further detail around this topic, namely:
- How can disciples of all-powerful God-realized gurus turn hostile? Don’t such sages use their omnipotent Divine Will to change the person’s mind?
- What is the guru’s reaction to dissent? Does he/she tolerate or crush it?
- What are some of the key reasons behind the disciple’s dissatisfaction?
- Suppose the hostile disciple shows remorse. Does the guru forgive him?
- Why we should never chase wish fulfillment (manokamana-poorti) from either God or guru. Demanding wealth, healing, jobs, and other things from them in a transactional manner is a recipe for disaster. It takes us in the direction of atheism.
- Do devotees who revolt against a genuine God-realized guru suffer punishment for their evil actions in hell?
All these questions are answered in this video.
