For a bird attaining wings to fly and soar high and higher, is the process of enlightenment. The continuity of ones the enlightened state is almost impossible. Like the bird, it cannot continue to fly high all the time and need to come down also.
Spiritual people walk away from relationships easily. Buddha walked away leaving behind his wife, just born child, parents and the people in their kingdom. As a father of the just born baby, to his wife, to his parents, Buddha might be a person who did not accomplish his responsibilities in the respective roles in relationships.
Mr Jiddu Krishna Murthy is a renowned spiritual guru. He was identified and prepared to become a world teacher. Ms Annie Besant played the most important role in identifying him as a child and mentored him at the Theosophical Society. Charles Webster Leadbeater and many other spiritual intellectuals taught him many things. He was a rational person, who loves independence and does not want to be limited with the dogmas of one sect/institution. For an enlightened person, there is no need to have a guru. They themselves are gurus. So one fine day, Jiddu Krishna Murthy walked away with his followers from his mentors at the Theosophical Society, Adayar, Chennai, India to start his own school in the same city. When people break or be less responsible in the relationships and gratitudes their integrity is also questioned.
