Acharya Prashant addresses the confusion and distress felt by disciples when their spiritual gurus are accused or convicted of social and legal crimes. He emphasizes that the relationship between a guru and a disciple is strictly based on what the disciple receives spiritually. He argues that a guru's social conduct and their spiritual teachings are two separate entities. Even if a guru is found guilty of crimes like rape or land grabbing by society's standards, it does not necessarily invalidate the spiritual wisdom they imparted. He uses the analogy of eating a mango without worrying about the tree or the peel, suggesting that disciples should focus on the benefit they gained rather than the guru's personal character or social reputation. He further explains that society operates on its own set of rules and laws, and anyone living within that system, including saints, must face the consequences if they violate those laws. He cites the example of Shri Ram sending Lakshman to learn from the dying Ravana, despite Ravana's criminal act of kidnapping Sita, to illustrate that wisdom can be taken even from those who have committed grave social wrongs. Acharya Prashant critiques the stereotypical image of a guru—old, poor, and frail—as a creation of social comfort rather than a reflection of reality. He concludes that a mature mind should be able to hold two seemingly contradictory ideas: that a person can be a social criminal and yet a source of profound spiritual guidance.
