Dead Enlightened Masters and Living Enlightened Masters

Living Master versus Dead Master
Spiritual seekers are confused by this concept. It is easy to be with a dead master who has left his body because a dead master does not react to you. It is common tradition and practice in India to worship dead teachers. It is easy for people to worship God because God is bodiless. Many enlightened masters like Mahavira, Buddha, and Jesus no longer have a physical body therefore many spiritual seekers find it easy to be with them. No matter what you shower upon them with your prayers they do not react to you.
Contrarily, it is very difficult to be with a live master because he will react to every one of your mistakes and make you aware of them. No one likes to experience it, but a live master will constantly keep an eye on you and correct you. He is looking to lift you up and unfold your consciousness.
The entire Eastern world is clinging to dead masters because live masters are too difficult to be around. Live masters are always criticized because they will speak the bitter truth. Throughout history live masters were stoned, persecuted, and killed. Once they are dead they are worshipped by millions of people. Look at Mahavira, Buddha, and Jesus and how many followers there are today. Dead masters do not react now. How easy it is to follow them.
Learning has to be done through the live master because he wants to teach you for your own goodness. A live teacher has five qualities -- he can be seen, smelled, heard, his presence can be felt and he can be fully absorbed because he is in your presence. Dead masters have good teachings but they are lacking these qualities. Unless you have known a master who is deceased you cannot learn from a departed master. Even though you will encounter difficulty learn from the live master, it is beneficial for you.
-----
Many enlightened masters have touched this earth, Jesus, Buddha, Mahavir, Yogananda, however, they are unable to communicate their true teachings because they are no longer in their body. If someone misinterprets their teachings, these dead masters cannot correct your thinking and interpretation. Their instrument of body is no longer available. However, most set up traditions, churches, and doctrines trying to preserve their interpretations of these gurus, when in actuality they are going further away from the true essence. It is better to come into contact with a true living enlightened master where they can correct and guide you to yourself. Only true living masters will not teach religion or tradition to you.

My friend, There Is No "Dead Master". It's all about Real disciple vs. "Speaking" disciple. A real disciple can see Jesus and Krishna and Yogananda, and St. Francis...all of them. The question is: do I live like a Real disciple? It should be more clear to say: A Master (doesn't matter where is his body) reacts to his true disciples. Humbleness. A real disciple must be free of the desire of becoming "guru". Do I cut others head for becoming taller? Humbleness. "Argentinian" english from maya, bye

Namaste,
I am working one to one with a live Sat Guru. I know the corrections you speak of- when I am around my Guru, regardless of weather a correction is being given or whatever, there is a transmission taking place.
6 disciples have come to Realization since 1999- I am on the lookout for other Gurus with similar methodology so disciples can possibly be sent when not progressing here- would love to hear from you- possibly introduce to my Guru (lives in usa)- guruswamig on youtube
