An Appeal

Bliss, I do not know what it is but I believe it to be a state where one is in a perpetual state of contentment, happiness and such.

To reach this state is every ones goal. This calls for knowledge of the path to follow. Only that some one, who has already followed the path and reached the state of bliss, can impart this knowledge. Where is such a teacher?

Why all self-proclaimed teachers claiming to impart such knowledge seem to me commercially motivated or hankering for fame. Most of them are engaged in gathering followers, building institutions, are media hungry, selling their knowledge for money and are impermanent (i.e. short life-ed nothing except truth is permanent). They, therefore, do not see that their knowledge (?) is mostly needed by creatures living in miseries, are deprived, ignorant, oppressed and what not! But then, these creatures also are have-nots, no money to lavish on the knowledgeable teachers and have no resources to make them famous.

India appears to have emerged as one producing more number of such teachers than any other country right from the time of Gautam Buddh. Can I put Buddh in the above category? Nonsense!!! But look at the modern day teachers. Are they comparable to Buddh?

Loud and clear calls for such teachers, who claim to help alleviate human miseries I think, are coming from places like India itself, Africa, Vietnam, etc.

My folded hands prayer to them "Please listen to them".
