saints and philosophers are unique

 

saints and philosophers are unique  
due to their degree of ability to see the truth of life / truth of god, 
and express their cognitions, and live a life of their choice uniquely 
according to their level of consciousness

but, the followers normally being at a different level cannot understand, they misunderstand and distort or narrow down, unwittingly, and assume that it is the thing that they said, and try to further pass it down , 
what happens in this process is the purity of teachings is lost, what remains is rituals and superficialities and forcing /imposing/ gaining acceptability by various means, including spiritual promises or incentives and material benefits in the worst case 
this has been going on and will ever goes on 
but, things will not be the same, all said and done results speak 
and disillusionment dawns .and it has to happen and will happen 
those who know things better would like to switch over to some thing better and better
i am reminded of 

The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfills himself in many ways,
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson

 

Drooping abilities, tiredness, aging, sickness, death are due to various reasons, how one goes thru the life , inputs, and how intelligently one manages himself , also no less hereditary, and it's a individual 's order of priority , some treating it a light matter, some taking good care of themselves but everyone would like to lead a good life , this aspiration of man invariably gets exploited by everywhere. every and promises a heaven to promote sale . and some do succeed in netting in gullible customers. but nature's laws cannot be deceived , cause and effect none can escape"
