The
one who identifies himself as swami, guru or yogi is not a Gnani. A
Gnani never identifies himself as swami, guru, pundit or yogi. Swami,
guru, pundit or yogi belongs to religious and yogic path not to path of
truth or wisdom. Gnani wears no signs or symbol.
Swami Vivekananda said: - “You have to
grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you
spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
Sri, Sankara's commentary:-
Page 489: "The knower of Brahman wears no signs. Page 500 asks in
effect "Tell us what you know, show it, and let us examine it under the
mental microscope." It means we must bring notions and beliefs out of
vagueness into clearness. It also criticizes the mystics who claim
superior knowledge but who cannot communicate it for purposes of
verification.
On page 482: On Gnani: "The knower of Brahman
wears no signs. Gives up the insignia of a monk's life,…his signs are
not manifest, nor his behavior."
