How CAn One Recognize a Realized Teacher or Sadguru by Tony O'Clery.
First of all a True Guru will call you and you will know from inside...the heart..However they usually share some common signals.
1. Teach vegetarianism .....for Daya, Ahimsa and self purification.
2. Teach recognisable Teachings from Vedanta and other Muktas. All is One and the small 'I' is false.
3. Usually they are not over active and don't travel a lot if possible....Nowhere to go!!!
4. They teach a lot by silence like Dakshinamurthi.....and are not given to long road show discourses...
5. They do not write copiously..but may answer questions.....but not usually from dilletantes..
6. Have the ability to answer obtuse questions without being tertiary educated...
7. You can usually feel their energy and they can give Diksha or initiation and Saktipat....
8. They are usually not making, generating and selling Books, DVDs, and asking for donations.
9. They are not given to siddhis and miracles although things may happen around them.
10. Regard all beings as being equal including animals.
11. Sometimes grant Moksha to animals......and advanced humans...
12. They usually prefer to more reclusive than expansive....
13. Demonstrate or advise some kind of sadhana...and meditation.
14. A Mukta has gone through a complete literal death experience losing the ego..Like Jesus,Ramana,Maharaj,Lakshamana, Saradamma,and others.
Those road show gurus are not usually Muktas and although do good work for everybody and themselves cannot impart initiation as only a Mukta with power of the Self can do that...
Of course the easiest way is to become a Mukta..............

The test for a realised person is -1. A literal death experience, not a dream or visualisation. Jesus,Maharaj,Ramana,Lakshmana Swamy, Mathru Sri Sarada, Sri Ramakrishna all died and were resurrected as the Self.
