Review of Decoding Deepak (2012) by Frankieapplesauce S — 03 Jul 2018

A cautionary tale for any person who is considering turning their spiritual proclivities and talents into a money making and fame generating venture. On top of that, the corrupting toll adoration of fans and social media addiction takes on even the purest of souls.

This documentary makes it painfully obvious how important it is for a guru to teach without pecuniary gain, to heal and touch lives without egoic aims, and to live as an example of physical, psychological and spiritual health.

Unfortunately for Deepak, he is not an example of a higher self, but the opposite - a man with a poor diet, poor personal relationships, and poor exercise habits, all culminating into walking sadness, stress, delusion, and addiction satiating behavior patterns.

At the moment, no one in the spiritual industry is actually walking the walk, which is what this world needs of a guru. This documentary is a testament to both the absence and need for a selfless and disciplined teacher to walk among us.

One thing that's evident is that Deepak's son is awake and intellectually honest. Deepak did a good job as a father.
