Though I could tell you usually who were good people and who were bad and most people fall somewhere in between during different phases of their lives I always knew when I was in the presence of someone truly amazing and realized, especially this was true when I met them in India and Nepal during my travels there with my family from December 1985 until April of 1986.
So, when you are in the presence of a fully realized being it changes your life from then on just realizing what is happening to you in the presence of a fully amazing realized being.
It's not something intellectual it is like smelling the sweetest most delicate fragrance rose or watching lightning strike the ground nearby you. It is overwhelming for your senses in every way.
So, learning how to act in the presence of a fully realized being becomes important because it might not be safe if you are harboring ill will towards such a being because you might get sick or die within a few days or weeks because their protecting dieties might take you out.
So, showing reverence and respect as if they were your grandparents or parents is a good start in being around this type of being.
Are their fake realized beings? Yes. This is especially true in the U.S. and Europe because people here might not be developed enough to discern the difference. And this also can be true even in India and Nepal where people with not good motives are pretending to be fully realized too.
So, it can be very hard to meet the teacher that will be useful for your specific enlightenment even though you might meet many on the way.
By God's Grace
