The rise and fall of Gurus and alikes

The lives of Guru's and other holy men (woman less so!) are similar to great empires. There's a frugal growth period of energetic frank drive and search towards the goal; then a grand period of achievement and accumulation of followers and power; and finally the inexorable decadence and fall for fame, power, money and sex.
ecce huMAN nature (woman seem to be doing much better!).

choose your guru young and honest, or simply choose her.
