The guru's biography can be used as a decisive element of diagnosis, which allows to assess the authenticity of the teaching presented by the sect.
In the biography of the true spiritual master handed over to the adepts, no facts that are inconsistent with reality appear. This is not the case with the impostor guru, which creates a legend closely related to the history and roots of the group. The real stages of his life are transformed. Thus, the description of an illusory mystical experience transmits a real and often not very bright episode. Professional and social failure is concealed by proud titles and prestigious diplomas – unfortunately, completely fictional. Sometimes there are far less glorious facts from the guru's life behind the history of mystical quests. Certainly, in this new biography we will not find any failure in the harmonious development of the described person.
However, the lack of items for the show usually proves, that we are probably dealing with traditional teaching. In a true spiritual master, personality does not serve his particular interests. It is a link in the chain of thoughts and spiritual current, whose guru wants to be a tool. He is the messenger, who forwards the received message, without changing it. Even though his disappearance might break this transmission, it is his personality that does not distort or enrich thoughts, it just carries her.
