Why it is actually important to revere gurus and treat them sacredly

[Stick]

I am not talking about people in this thread per say, we can treat enlightened people normally and get their point across.
But to the vast majority of mankind, if they truly understood the guru's perspective, they would kill him.
See if leo goes around telling people that they are the devil and evil doesn't exist, people wouldnt like him very much.
But if sadhguru says some wild shit like that then it is accepted. 
Not because people suddenly have the insight but because the respect towards a guru leads to less resistance from the ego.
That happens because you have surrendered morality and spirituality to the guru not the ego.
Be careful though, a lot of fraud gurus out there which make this method very unsafe and prone to cult like behaviour

Sadhguru is not a real guru . He is a celebrity guru.  He doesn't teach actual spirituality like what Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta Maharshi did. He has turned spirituality into a business. Never resonated with him. 

And Leo is a philosopher..intellectual and spiritual teacher combined .not your stereotypical guru either .
