You do realise how condescending and patronizing that sounds,right?Astus wrote:
In other words, disciples like to believe that a teacher has special powers, so they attribute some otherwise ordinary events to those powers. That's not different from calling some events the acts of God.
Many disiples are actually skeptical about teachers possessing any lesser siddhi ,let alone the siddhi of realization, so your argument there is unfounded.
I agree that it's better to be skeptical of any extraordinary claims than to have blind faith but its really not an issue of faith or hope in a saviour guru as much as you might think.
