Sacrifices and humanitarian works or good or bad conducts of a person is not a qualification to acquire the ultimate truth or Brahman.

Sacrifices and humanitarian works or good or bad conducts of a person is not a qualification to acquire  the ultimate truth or Brahman. The spiritual journey is a personal journey. It is better to verify the claims made in the teachings, and highlight in what way the teachings are inadequate useless, instead of highlighting the personal life of the spiritual personalities. Never indulge in condemning any gurus or their teaching but only one has highlight in what way they are inadequate and useless in pursuit of truth .

Most of the spiritual teachers or gurus of the past and present are involved in some controversies or other. It is better to concentrate on the subject matter of the teachings and do research on it, and accept only the un-contradictable truth in their teachings and reject what is not truth, rather then focusing attention on the personal life of the author of the teaching.

Personal conduct cannot be used as a yardstick in pursuit of truth. All the societal or religious code of conduct is meant for the physical plane. Deeper inquiry and reasoning reveals the fact that, the physical body [I] is not the self but the true self is the formless soul, therefore, one has to view and judge the truth on the base the formless soul, in order to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Mundaka Upanishad:-

Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one. - First Mundaka -10- Chapter I [Source: "the Upanishads - a new translation" by Swami Nikhilananda in four volumes]
