Why do Gurus want to teach what they learn? Why do they show their importance?
This depends on the Guru... Some do it for ego gratification.. some need the students to be at their feet for ego importance... some do it out of desire to "save the world" ... some do it as a job... and some are just led by karma...
Some do not look to be a guru but when the students find them and ask then they accept... for those that are jnani that have reached liberation it is the natural outcome... For them there is only silence... there is no search... no answers looked for... when the students come and ask questions the answers just appear in consciuosness... they are not thought about.. nor contemplated... it just happens as a matter of course...
It is up to you to decide if they are showing their importance... if you believe that they are coming from ego then go the other way... A teacher in ego can not teach by example but only by words... yet also do not judge always by outer appearances... the personality goes on... but the inner awareness is what matters...
Seek out where the Guru is pointing to... are they pointing you to truth... or are they pointing you to give them adulation or money... Do they give you Truth freely or are there strings attached? The one that says "I Am God" versus All are of the Same Essense... which is showing importance? ALL are only Brahman beyond the ego forms illusions... look and judge wisely....
Is Realizing yourself all?
Yes! When you know your Self you know God... When you know God or Self there is absolute freedom... What else remains... In freedom you rest in Peace - and Bliss - and Wholeness - Complete - One with All.. Beyond the transients always resting within the Constant which is ever the same.... There is no more desire... there is no more search.. you are ever the calm... once again the Ocean of Bliss....
What is the best way to reach realization? How to proceed?
The best way is to simplify your life to begin with... do not keep desiring more and more... do not be attached to what you have ... if it is there fine - if it goes fine... this is being unattached... you need not give up everything just give up being attached and grasping to keep it... all is transient here in maya... what comes will in the end go... you cannot hold onto anything with form or ideations that sustain ego.... Next is to do contemplation of Self... look at what about you is transient in nature... what in the world is transient... and say neti neti... if it is transient it cannot be the Ever Abiding Source... or Self.... keep going until only Source remains... Start to do one thing at a time... keep your focus always in present time... if you think about the past stop yourself and come back to Now... if you start thinking about future once again come back to Now ... this is the way to begin......
Why is life so hard to live and to understand?
Because you are deluded into thinking you are the form and that outward desires will fullfill you... and you attempt to live the dreams of others and within the dogma of society and religion... ever within the perameters of illusions of truth... you hold all the condtionings and ideas that you have been told as truth... and you try to meet the ever increasing load of burdens thrust upon you by your own desires and by wanting the approval of family and society and God etc. etc. etc.... you are in a never ending maze of trying to fullfill yourself and others that comprise your ideation of your world.... You are ever seeking fulfillment... but you know not where to find it... you are lost within mayas delusions.... and the only way out is to find That Which Is the Truth of Self... That which can only truly fullfill you... and that is only found within alone.... no one else can give you peace and satisfaction... no one can hand you this... you must be willing to search it out yourself....
Love and Blessings
