It is very interesting to view a guru being so brutally honest in regards to his beliefs. Faqir Chand could not understand why people felt he had all the answers to worldly and spiritual problems. His belief was that a person’s strength came from within and there is no higher being. The guru or higher being are but only a man as we all are, it is the suggestions being preached that make an impression on our minds. The images that the director flashes assists with the realization of the many diverse beliefs people turn to.
Faqir was asked if changes should be applied to the way gurus preach in today’s society. His response was of such great simplicity, people must comprehend that there is no salvation other than one’s own self. This is an intense claim considering the fact that a majority of mankind praises some sort of God or Goddess. I am sympathetic to Faqir’s Secret to a certain extent. I feel that we all need something to believe in to maintain our sanity in this world and that we should continue to praise whatever brings personal comfort. However, we must also realize that the manifested claims of miraculous events are of man not of a divine being.
