The Role-Play of So-Called Gurus and Masters
Today, everywhere you look, someone wants to become a Guru, a Coach, a Master, or a Life-Changer. They stand on stages, post videos, write books, and tell the world, “Follow me, I’ll fix you.” But here is the uncomfortable truth: When you are yourself in a learning process, how can you teach others? How can an unfinished person claim to complete someone else’s journey? Life teaches you every moment. But despite being students of life themselves, these people stand up and say, “I am the teacher.” This is the root disease of the so-called Gurus, Motivational Speakers, Influencers, Preachers, and Coaches. They are still learning but they want to lead. They are still confused but they want followers.
Teaching, Learning, Witnessing are Movements, Not Identities
Teaching is not a personal achievement. Learning is not a badge. Witnessing is not a title. These are natural movements of life. But the human ego is obsessed with owning these flows. It wants to say, “I am teaching you.” “I am learning this.” “I am witnessing.” The moment you claim ownership over a pure movement, you corrupt it. Teaching becomes performance. Learning becomes effort. Witnessing becomes a role-play.
The Lie of the “Teacher”
No one is a teacher. Teaching happens through situations, reflections, and life’s unfolding. But the ego wants to stand up and declare, “I know better. I will guide you.” Most of these so-called teachers have not figured out their own lives. Their personal relationships are broken. Their inner conflicts are unresolved. Their identity is shaky. Yet they package motivation, sell half-digested wisdom, and preach about success, peace, and love. A teacher would never declare, “I am your teacher.” Because the moment you assume the teacher role, you stop learning. You start managing an image. You become a product, not a person.
The Learner Role is Also a Trap
On the other side, people love to call themselves Students, Seekers, and Followers. They surrender their responsibility. They stop witnessing for themselves. They become emotionally dependent on the so-called teacher. Both roles teacher and learner are traps. One inflates superiority. The other inflates inferiority. Both are illusions. The truth is simple. Learning happens when you are fully alive. Teaching happens when clarity flows naturally. Neither needs a role or a title.
The Witnessing Illusion: No Witness Exists
Spiritual performers love to say, “I am the Witness.” This is yet another ego identity. Witnessing is a movement of life’s awareness. It doesn’t need someone standing behind it claiming, “I am doing this.” The moment you insert a “witness,” you create a separation that never existed. witnessing happens Steadily, without ownership. It is steady, has no ownership, natural.
The Industry of So-Called Masters
Let us be honest. The guru-business, the motivational-speaking circus, the influencer market these are industries. Their product is your insecurity. Their profit comes from your need to be led. These people are not guiding you. They are feeding off your need to be guided. They are not finished beings. They are unfinished performers. They sell peace while being restless. They sell love while their own families are broken. They sell success while they are hungry for attention. They preach detachment while being addicted to likes and followers.
There is Only Movement No Mover
Life is a movement. Breath happens. Understanding happens. Change happens. Teaching, learning, witnessing all happen. But there is no central person moving them. The ego inserts a false “Mover,” an illusion that says, “I am doing this.” This is the beginning of delusion. The moment you remove this fake mover, life flows purely. Teaching happens without a teacher. Learning happens without a learner. Witnessing happens without a witness.
Stop Following the Unfinished
The next time someone says, “I am your Guru,” ask them are you still learning? Are you still facing life’s unknowns? Are you living from clarity or performing a role? If they are honest, they will admit they are still learning. In that moment, the false role drops. Do not follow those who are still learning but pretend to lead. And do not become someone who is learning but pretends to teach. Let life teach. Let life learn. Let life witness. Ownership is the root lie. Movement is the only truth.
