How does one recognise a Saint?

It is impossible for an average person to recognise a Saint, a person who is at the pinnacle of spiritual evolvement. To understand this better let’s take the help of a few analogies.

So also if one wants to measure the spiritual maturity or level of a Saint who is at the pinnacle of evolvement in the field of Spirituality one needs to be a Saint of that level.

An average person or even a religious person or mature seeker is not equipped to make the judgement of whether a particular person is a Saint. Even for a seeker, he can only realise the frequencies of a spiritually higher person to a maximum of 20% more than his own spiritual level. This is because the difference in frequencies, become far too subtle to understand when there is a difference of 20% in spiritual level.

Judging the difference between two Saints

So with the same logic, it is impossible for an average seeker doing regular spiritual practice let alone a person not doing spiritual practice to judge the difference in spiritual maturity between two Saints.

Which Saint to follow?

An average person’s scope of understanding the Universe is only through his five senses, mind and intellect.

Quite often we find that people have preconceived notions about what a Saint should be like and how He should act. And this may be based on a narrow view of spiritual understanding. This then leads to a gross misjudgement on their parts on who we consider a Saint and who to follow.
As a result they are

incapable of realising the subtle positive frequencies emitted from the spiritually evolved.
Thus they do not on their own understand that the spiritually evolved are in fact spiritually evolved unless they are told by an authority in Spirituality, that the particular person is spiritually evolved.

This leaves the average seeker with a doubt, “On one hand, we know that Saints are beacons of spiritual knowledge but I cannot recognise a Saint, then who should I trust as a Saint?”

The answer to this question is that one should focus on their spiritual practice that is based on the six basic principles of spiritual practice. If the student of Spirituality takes one step toward realising God then God takes 10 steps to help the seeker and puts the seeker in touch with the right spiritual guide to match his spiritual yearning and capacity.
