Fake Gurus

YouTube has a plethora of spiritual videos
Pseudo gurus haven
Most of them are out to make a fast buck
Aided by grave faces unshaven

Let’s take the Tantra energy path for example 
With a view to energising chakras seven
Esoteric forced practices are proffered
These gurus promising to take us to heaven

Be wary folks and use no intermediary
For God dwells in the cave of each soul’s heart
If we be pure, childlike and gentle
Assuredly one day we will feel bliss ignition start

Kundalini, Chi or Holy Spirit as divine energy is called
It is not something external to our innate being
Path to ascent is simple but ego cravings complicate
Clear seeing simply requires with throb of love agreeing

It’s not only that; at a basic level, misinformation is passed on to the public at large. Then, there’s Shaktipat ~ energy transmission for kundalini activation, which is highly inadvisable and can lead to serious trauma. Of course, most of these involve money exchange as well, in one form or another as also sexual exploitation.

The one who thinks he knows should know his identity is non-existent ~ as long as ego is, subtle desires remain and thus so does delusion.
