Radhanath Swami on True Saints are Not Liars

Some people opine that God is a myth; a crutch that man has created to make sense of this chaotic world. But a look through the history books, along with observations about the present world, indicates a different conclusion. Who have galvanized the most positive changes in the world? Who have displayed the most genuine and potent compassion for the masses? They were those who had sought out the very essence of religion and spirituality; those who had proclaimed that all their powers were merely because they chose to be instruments in the hands of the divine.

Are they all liars? Are they all ignorant fools or sentimentalists? If they are, then let us all be like that. They were intoxicated with love and shared that love with everyone. They were happy, and made others happy. No, they were not liars, not mere sentimentalists creating an illusion. Otherwise they could not have lived the way they did. Their compassion could not have been the way it was. The great scriptures and histories teach us about such great souls who actually followed the essential principles of spirituality, not about those who exploited spirituality for their own egoistic ends. A true saint is one who, on behalf of God, searches out for God’s long lost servants – us.

  4. In today’s world where God-men abound and pseudo ‘Gurus’ cheat the gullible Radhanath Swami’s words give newer vision and a fresh ray of hope to aspiring spiritual seekers.

  5. God-realization can happen only with faith in God to begin with.Maharaj says that the great souls were self-realized and we must learn from their examples for being truly spiritual.

  6. A true saint can be identified by his words & deeds. Needless to say, Radhanath Swami is a true saint.

  7. Radhanath Swami is absolutely right. In fact it's those atheist who are liars. They just rake up false & preposterous arguments based on the idiotic "Big Bang" theory to deny the existence of God. To me, the various religions propagating the existence of the Divine God are much more scientific than the ridiculous & illusory Big Bang theory.

  11. A bonafide saint is one who has renounced all the bodily pleasures & comforts of life & doesn't keep any material possessions for himself. Having thus dedicated his life in the service of human welfare, what would he possibly want to acquire by making false statements about God. Therefore, there is a great deal of merit & substance in Radhanath Swami's statement that 'True Saints are not lars'.

  12. Let not the pseudo-spiritualists distract us away from the true ones. We need saints, but not swindlers in the garb of saints.

  13. True saints do not have any agenda of their own or any self-motivated interests to accomplish. Nor do they desire anything for themselves. They are simply focussed on distributing the love of God which they have received from the acharyas because they are genuinely concerned about the welfare of the human society. So without doubt, like Radhanath Swami says, true saints are not liars. In fact they are the only true friends that we can ever have in this selfish materialistic society.

  14. It's only because of true saints like Radhanath Swami that there is still some truthfulness left in the world. Otherwise the gross materialists & atheists have created an atmosphere in which people do not feel any guilt about lying & they do so at the drop of a hat.

  18. There are few bonafide saints like Radhanath Swami who actually practice what they preach & who genuinely desire to bring about a spiritual upliftment in today's Godless society. Other self-styled gurus are simply cheating in the name of religion & serving their own interests. We need to prudently differentiate between the true saints & such fake gurus.

  26. Amazing article from Radhanath Swami. I firmly believe that whenever we deviate from the sublime path of devotion to Lord, we must read these soothing words of Radhanath Swami and that will bring back our conciousness to the right path. The way this material world is designed, anytime we can start taking easy the teachings and stories of our past great acharyas as mere stories with no conclusion and at that hour it behoves us to take immediate shelter of the spiritual masters like Radhanath Swami.
