Books complicating the path of Bhagavan

A grudge i have against all these writers who write about Bhagavan's teachings. Entire volumes on Bhagavan's path, when Bhagavan only wanted us to remain as our I-feeling, or awareness, or to trace the "I" back to source.


Such books rather than do a service to seekers, delay seeking by:

(a) giving the seeker the impression that there is a lot to be understood before enquiry can be done, thus enquiry is a complex thing

(b) only after reading this and various other books should he be starting, otherwise he will start off with insufficient knowledge, thus delaying practice

(c) trapping seekers in a web of concepts

And so its not surprising that most of us are delaying self-enquiry or saying that we started and dropped it, or it never worked, or its only for advanced seekers, etc. Just opened a book that is 573 pages long, and it has only concepts for most of the 573 pages! I started it last year and dropped it midway. So today i jump to last chapter and after a lot of religious stuff, and warnings that it is difficult finally the author does mention "self-attention". Phew! Finally, after 550 pages or so. Thanks for taking thousands of readers through 550 pages of concepts on consciousness, finally to tell us that SE is difficult and requires God's grace and what-not.

I have the same to say for all the other books, anything that puts Bhagavan's path in more than a para or page is complicating it, and scaring people off. It scared me off for several years. Today, looking back, I find the truth in some of those books, however, embedded deep in the middle, hard to find, covered up and surrounded by all kinds of concepts and misconceptions since the authors never practiced themselves. Since the authors never felt the suffering or desire to free themselves of suffering enough to practice sincerely.
