Why Do We need Babas in Our Society?

If we divide the followers of that Baba Sarathi or any other such kind of Baba/Mata there will be two broad and distinct category.First one is of idiots and the second one is of fraudsters.No other person can be followers of these Baba/Mata.
I say them idiots as they are unable to examine the fact and believe blindly anything if they find some interest for them in it.They have lost or no self confidence on themselves or on their ability.The second ones are fraudsters who know it very well what the Baba/Mata is actually and what he/she is capable of doing.Unlike the idiots these people are shrewd and they have calculated their gain precisely.The politicians,film stars,contractors,brokers come under this category.Most of the followers from both the category want money and other assets,name and fame,job,birth of a child,success in love and not to mention sex with the help of the Babas/Matas.The so called Babas/Matas take the opportunity to provide  short-cuts for fulfillment of the desires of their  followers.

Our culture has a great role in thriving of these Babas/Matas which teaches us to offer gifts like 108 coconuts,flowers,BADA BHOGA,gold and silver ornaments to deities,so that we will be blessed with our desires.We may or may not deserve what we wish or desire.I find it quite non sense that if we think the God to be the creator and owner of everything then how can we offer his creation to himself for our interest.Is not this like bribing a corrupt officer or clerk or a politician to get our works done?One may need to bribe them,because they do not reward the deserving ones.But,as we know God rewards the deserving ones,then why we should bribe God to get blessed.Another non sense practice is for atonement of a sin or crime one will have to make Yajna,take holy dip in river Ganga,donate ornaments etc.We just do not believe in our KARMA and what we all need is our undeserving,illegal,unethical,immoral desires fulfilled and for this we are ready to pay.This kind of mindset gives rise to to these Babas/Matas in our society.Some are so blind in their belief that just think these Babas/matas as the incarnation of God in Kaliyuga.The second category of follwerswho are fraudsters  know it very well that these Babas/Matas are not Gods,but the find their interest in some other way like getting supports of followers of Babas/Matas in elections ,getting the contracts,and sexual favors etc.
We have to see to which category a follower of a Baba/Mata belongs.We can see the Babas/Matas in ourselves if we make a close introspection.
